Kiran McDonald starts for Scotland A
Six Glasgow Warriors have been named in Scotland A's starting XV for tomorrow afternoon's meeting with England A.

Mike Blair's squad will be looking to defend a strong record against England A, with Scotland unbeaten in their last three meetings with the Auld Enemy.

After receiving an eleventh-hour call-up to the squad in the wake of nine players self-isolating, Stafford McDowall goes straight into the starting XV to line up at inside-centre for his first international outing since representing Scotland U20.

Ross Thompson sees his impressive Glasgow Warriors form in 2020/21 rewarded with a start at fly-half while Rufus McLean is on the wing.

Up front, Oli Kebble - the only capped Warrior selected for the clash - starts at tight-head for the first time in the dark blue of Scotland, shifting across the front row from his customary slot at loose-head.

Kiran McDonald is selected in the second-row with the Glasgow contingent completed by Rory Darge, who starts at openside flanker.

The match is live on Channel Four tomorrow afternoon, with kick-off at Welford Road scheduled for 2.00pm..
