Six Nations call for uncapped Edinburgh prop Rory Sutherland

Rory Sutherland has been rewarded for his fine performances at Edinburgh Rugby

Fellow uncapped prop Zander Fagerson, of Glasgow Warriors, has also been included.

Sutherland, 23, has impressed for the Edinburgh since signing from Gala last season.

Fagerson turns 20 tomorrow, meaning he could become the fourth youngest prop in Scottish rugby history.

There is no place for his Warriors team-mate Ryan Wilson, who faces a potentially lengthy ban after being cited for allegedly grabbing the testicles of Northampton’s scrum-half Lee Dickson.

Exeter Chiefs tighthead Moray Low and Glasgow Warriors hooker, Pat MacArthur, earn selection for the first time since the summer of 2014.

Glasgow centre Alex Dunbar also makes his return to the national team camp, ten months after a knee injury killed off his hopes of featuring at last year’s World Cup.

Scotland get their campaign underway against England at BT Murrayfield on Saturday, February 6 (kick-off 4.50pm).
