Scotland shake-up: Townsend brings in fresh faces for Six Nations test against Wales

Gregor Townsend has added three players to his Scotland squad ahead of this Saturday’s Six Nations showdown against Wales at Murrayfield.

Edinburgh’s Matt Currie returns after scoring a hat-trick against Munster on Friday night, having recovered from a concussion sustained against Zebre.

He is joined by club mate Ben Muncaster, who also impressed in Edinburgh’s win in Cork.

Meanwhile, Luke Crosbie and Jack Mann have been ruled out through injury, while Ali Price and Ross McCann have returned to Edinburgh Rugby.

Currently, Scotland sit fourth in the standings with one win from three matches.

Scotland began their Six Nations campaign with a 31-19 victory over Italy at Murrayfield. Subsequently, they suffered defeats to Ireland (18-32) and England (15-16).

So, the upcoming home match provides an opportunity for Scotland to improve their position in the championship, given the fact that Wales lie bottom of the table.
