Upcoming Fixtures & How to Watch

Next up for the Scottish side is the Six Nations clash against Wales at Murrayfield on March 9th.

Key Players and Team Insights

Scotland’s success often hinges on a few standout performers. Full‑back Finn Russell continues to be the play‑maker, directing the attack with his crisp passing and daring kicks. If you enjoy a hard‑hitting forward, check out prop Kyle Steyn – his scrummaging strength and work rate in the loose are vital to the set‑piece. Young centre Jonah Holmes has been breaking into the starting XV, offering fresh pace and creative running lines.

Coach Gregor Townsend emphasizes a forward‑driven style, meaning the pack’s performance against the opposition scrum is a big talking point. Keep an eye on the line‑out calls from hooker Luke Crosbie, as a clean line‑out often leads to quick scoring chances. When the team clicks, you’ll see an aggressive defensive line that forces turnovers and sets up counter‑attacks.

Injuries can change the game plan quickly, so we update you whenever there’s a squad change. For example, if the first‑choice fly‑half falls out, you’ll want to know who steps in – usually a seasoned veteran like Duncan Taylor, who brings a calm presence under pressure.

Beyond the senior team, Scotland’s U20 side is a breeding ground for future stars. If you’re scouting talent, follow the U20 Six Nations to spot emerging players who could graduate to the senior squad within the next two years.
