Scotland team to take on New Zealand

Kyle Steyn starts for Scotland
Nine Glasgow Warriors are included in Gregor Townsend's Scotland squad to take on New Zealand at Murrayfield on Saturday afternoon (ko 3.10pm).

Sione Tuipulotu will skipper the team side having been rested for last weekend's 85-0 win over the USA.

He's joined in the back-line by Glasgow Warriors club captain Kyle Steyn, who earns selection on the wing after an impressive start to the 2025/26 URC season.

Up front, Scott Cummings once again features in the engine room, the British & Irish Lion having returned to Scotland action in last weekend's victory over the Americans.

An all-Glasgow Warriors back-row sees Gregor Brown selected at blindside, Matt Fagerson at openside, while Jack Dempsey continues at number eight, following a powerful display at the base of the scrum in the first half of last weekend's run-out.

Rory Sutherland and Jamie Dobie rotate to the bench after starting last Saturday, the latter having picked up Player of the Match honours in addition to his first-ever international hat-trick.

Rory Darge completes the Glasgow cohort selected - the back-rower is set for his first appearance since featuring in the opening URC match of the season.
