Scotland have released their squad ahead of this Saturday’s clash against Wales at Cardiff in the Doddie Weir Cup.

Edinburgh’s Stuart McInally returns as captain with nine others returning to the fold following injury recovery.

Head coach Gregor Townsend has selected four starters that took victory over Argentina in the summer including Edinburgh front-row Allan Dell, Blair Kinghorn and Glasgow Warriors Adam Hastings feature again in the back division, at stand-off and full-back.

The starting squad consists of 8 Glasgow Warriors and 7 Edinburgh players.

Doddie Weir Cup

Taking place outside World Rugby’s designated international window, Scotland take on Wales in the ‘Doddie Weir Cup’ as they honour the former Scotland and British & Irish Lions player diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease and support his inspiring work to raise funds for MND research.

Both rugby unions will donate a joint six-figure sum from the proceeds of the game, with the associated visibility for the fight against Motor Neurone Disease also providing an invaluable contribution.

Speaking to Scottish Rugby, Townsend said: “Doddie’s a great man who’s been inspirational in his fight against MND and it’s fantastic that we’re able to pay tribute to him and his achievements with this match.

“This Saturday the best way we, as a team, can pay tribute to him will be through our performance, delivering one in keeping with the occasion and that puts us in a position to make Doddie proud.

“There is an extra incentive that we are playing for a trophy in the shape of the Doddie Weir Cup.”
