Gregor Townsend has named his Scotland squad for the upcoming Six Nations. Healy, who will move to Edinburgh ahead of the 2023/24 season, qualifies through his maternal grandparents, having represented Ireland at under-20 level. He was selected for the ultimately cancelled 2021 summer squad for matches with England A, Romania and Georgia. McDowall has been in great form for Glasgow Warriors this season and recently captained the club for their away win against Perpignan in the European Rugby Challenge Cup. There are 10 players who have earned at least 50 Scotland caps, with Exeter Chiefs full-back Stuart Hogg, on 96 appearances for his country, approaching a landmark figure on the eve of the championship.
