Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend has added front-row duo Fraser Brown and Murray McCallum to his squad ahead of Saturday’s clash with Ireland at Murrayfield.

Glasgow Warriors hooker Brown joined the group in non-contact training last week and will take full part this week, with fellow Warrior and hooker Grant Stewart returning to the club.

Prop McCallum (22) last featured for Scotland on the 2018 summer tour and joins as fellow Edinburgh tighthead prop Willem Nel continues his recovery from a calf strain sustained in the national team’s opening victory over Italy at Murrayfield on Saturday.
