Miller joins up with the squad as fellow back-rower Hamish Watson drops out along with prop Jamie Bhatti and second-rower Glen Young. None of the forward trio were involved on Saturday as the Scots crashed to a damaging 31-29 defeat away to Italy. Had the Scots won in Italy at the weekend, they would be heading to Dublin this weekend for a title shootout with their hosts. If Scotland – currently third in the table – lose on Saturday, they will end the tournament with just two wins from five and could feasibly finish fifth if Italy defeat Wales this weekend. “There’s going to be no shortage of motivation after Saturday’s game and the last time we played Ireland so we’re excited for it.
