Scotland squad to face Ireland

Posted by Editor on March 5, 2018 02:34 PM | No comments | Print | E-mail author

Fraser Brown returns to the Scotland squad
Head coach Gregor Townsend today named a revised Scotland squad for the Six Nations ahead of this Saturday's Round 4 Test against Ireland in Dublin (ko 2.15pm).

The squad - which increases in size from 36 to 40 for the forthcoming rounds - welcomes 10 players into the group at the expense of six, with five of the seven new faces fit-to-play for the first time in the current campaign.

Toulouse lock Richie Gray (calf), Glasgow Warriors hooker Fraser Brown (head), prop Zander Fagerson (foot), centre Alex Dunbar (thigh) and Edinburgh Rugby prop Darryl Marfo (back) have recovered from their respective injuries to be deemed eligible for selection for the first time.

The new additions are completed by Edinburgh Rugby back-row John Hardie and scrum-half George Horne, whose 10 tries in 14 games for Glasgow Warriors this season has helped him secure his first senior international call-up.

The final three amendments see Sale Sharks and Glasgow Warriors wings Byron McGuigan (hamstring) and Lee Jones (head) return from their respective injuries to re-join the group, while Edinburgh Rugby back-row Magnus Bradbury is reselected.

Not considered through injury: Harlequins wing Tim Visser (head), Glasgow Warriors back-row Robert Harley (wrist).
