Josh Bayliss and Cameron Redpath have both been selected by Head Coach Gregor Townsend, whose side host England in the opening round of the tournament on Saturday 5 February.

Eligible for Scotland via his Aberdeen-born grandmother, Bayliss has progressed through the Bath Rugby pathway and developed into one of the senior squad’s key players. His versatility has seen him play across the whole of the back row with his first international start coming at Number 8 in November.

Redpath returned to action in the Blue, Black and White’s match at Stade Rochelais last weekend, playing 53 minutes at fly-half. That followed eight months of rehabilitation due to a knee injury and his hard work to return to fitness has seen him included. His only cap to date was against in England in Scotland’s Calcutta Cup win at Twickenham.
