For Saturday’s Six Nations match against Wales, Scotland’s head coach Gregor Townsend has called up Matt Currie, Ben Muncaster, and Nathan McBeth; however, Luke Crosbie and Jack Mann are sidelined due to injury.
Currie, who can play as a winger but is primarily a center, was called up after he recovered from a concussion and scored a hat-trick for Edinburgh against Munster on Friday night.
Glasgow prop McBeth and teammate Muncaster, who also started the victory in Cork, will accompany him.
Mann had a head injury on Friday night and is undergoing World Rugby’s concussion protocols, while Crosbie was substituted early in the Edinburgh match due to what seemed to be a shoulder problem and is now back at his club for more evaluation.
It has also been announced that Edinburgh’s Ali Price (scrum-half) and Ross McCann (winger) have also returned to their club.
Scotland suffered defeats to Ireland and England following their opening-weekend win against Italy, while Wales – who parted company with head coach Warren Gatland last month – lie bottom of the table after losing all three matches.
After the match against Wales, Scotland will conclude their Six Nations campaign away to France a week on Sunday.
