Here we will update Gregor Townsend’s squad throughout the 2023 championship
Scotland Six Nations Squad 2023
Gregor Townsend starts the 2023 Six Nations looking to continue Scotland’s recent dominance of the Calcutta Cup against England to kickstart the championship in a World Cup year.
Townsend has named his 40-man squad for the championship with Jamie Ritchie set to captain the side which includes four uncapped players.
Former England wing Ruaridh McConnochie is available after a three-year cooling down period in line with World Rugby’s eligibility laws with the Bath man joined by Glasgow centre Stafford McDowall and Munster fly-half Ben Healy, who has represented Ireland at U20 level but will join Edinburgh this summer and can represent the country of his maternal grandparents.
“The one year out of every four that we as coaches can’t wait for…”

Leicester Tigers lock Cameron Henderson is the final uncapped player to have been called up by Townsend with the head coach recalling experienced backs Sean Maitland and Huw Jones.
Former captain and full-back Stuart Hogg is four caps away from reaching his century for Scotland and could achieve the milestone during this year’s tournament.
