Scotland's squad bolstered with new call-ups ahead of England match

In preparation for the Six Nations clash, Scotland has made significant changes to their squad. The team has added Ross McCann, Ali Price, and Cameron Redpath following injuries to some of its players. Matt Currie has been ruled out after suffering a concussion during a match with Edinburgh, while Alexander Masibaka has returned to his club in France. George Horne is also unsure for the match as he is currently being assessed due to a facial injury. These alterations come as Scotland seeks to recover from a disappointing 32-18 defeat against Ireland last week at Murrayfield. The team's coaching staff are optimistic about the availability of key players Finn Russell and Darcy Graham, both of whom are progressing through concussion protocols after sustaining injuries in the previous match against Ireland. Their involvement in light training sessions gives hope that they will be fit enough to join the squad for the upcoming match at Allianz Stadium in Twickenham. The coaching staff emphasizes they will carefully evaluate the players’ progress to ensure no risks are taken ahead of such an important game. The match holds great significance as Scotland aims to retain the Calcutta Cup, a trophy they have successfully defended for the past four years, including breaking a 38-year winless streak at Twickenham with a notable victory in 2021. As Scotland heads into this encounter, they are aiming to leverage their recent experiences and confidence to overcome England once again, which adds an extra layer of intensity to the match given the historical rivalry between the two teams.
