EDINBURGH : Hamish Watson returns for a first run out in this year’s Six Nations as Scotland coach Gregor Townsend on Friday named a strong line-up for Sunday’s clash against last season’s champions France in Paris.
Flanker Watson was concussed in November’s test against New Zealand. Although he made a comeback at club level before the Six Nations kick off, he was left out of the Scotland side in favour of Crosbie to allow more time for recovery. Sam Skinner and Ali Price have been added to the list of replacements but Chris Harris, who played at centre for the British & Irish Lions in South Africa in 2021, has been left out of the match day 23.
