Crosbie has been very good for Edinburgh this year and arguably been better than Ritchie and Watson for Edinburgh but the national team will be wanting Ritchie and Watson up to speed for the 6N.
For me Crosbie, or any player who has performed well all season, deserves to keep the jersey but appreciate the difficulties in selection.
Second row selection and Currie v Bennett is a close battle too. Wouldn't be a surprise to see them give Young some game time off the bench now he is fit.

Currie v Bennett is very close indeed, and I wouldn't complain if Crosbie started over Watson, their form would put them in that pecking order.
Watson is under pressure from Darge for the Scotland lineup, too.

Ideally, but in practice it's the national side that earns the money that pays the wages.
