Hamish Watson has returned to the Scotland squad after being left out of the initial Six Nations selection by Gregor Townsend.

He’s one of five additions ahead of the Calcutta Cup clash with England at Scottish Gas Murrayfield on Saturday with Blair Kinghorn and WP Nel also returning from injury. Magnus Bradbury has also been added while Scarlets second row Alex Craig is also included and hoping to add to the two caps he picked up in the 2021 Six Nations as a replacement for the injured Richie Gray.

Josh Bayliss drops out due to injury while Javan Sebastian and Ross McCann are also not involved. Darcy Graham also remains out of contention after sustaining a groin injury and will undergo further assessment and treatment.
