Scotland ‘A’ are playing against Italy on Friday night and named their team yesterday, which at least tells us who won’t be in the first-team squad on Saturday.
Second-row Jonny Gray captains the ‘A’ side as he re-enters the international fold, while winger Kyle Rowe may have been one in contention for the main side.
That front row of Rory Sutherland, Gregor Hiddleston, and Darcy Rae could easily have been in line for bench spots in the Stadio Olimpico, too.
Scotland ‘A’ XV to face Italy XV: Paterson, Rowe, Smith, Redpath, Reed, Burke, Warr; Sutherland, Hiddleston, Rae, Gray, Craig, Onyeama-Christie, Douglas, Masibaka.
Replacements: Morris, Hepburn, Hurd, Bradbury, Ferrie, Bayliss, Afshar, Lancaster.
