SCOTLAND head coach Gregor Townsend has called up Matt Currie, Ben Muncaster and Nathan McBeth for Saturday’s Six Nations clash with Wales, but Luke Crosbie and Jack Mann have been ruled out by injury.
Currie has been recalled after scoring a hat-trick for Edinburgh against Munster on Friday night, having recovered from concussion.
He will be joined by club-mate Muncaster, who also starred in the win in Cork, and Glasgow prop McBeth.
Crosbie was replaced early on in the Edinburgh game and is back at his club to undergo further assessment, while Mann suffered a head injury on Friday night and is undergoing World Rugby’s concussion protocols.
Edinburgh’s Ali Price and Ross McCann have also returned to their club.
Scotland suffered defeats to Ireland and England following their opening-weekend win against Italy, while Wales lie bottom of the table after losing all three matches.
