Scotland squad update ahead of France and Ireland matches

2 Mar 2026

Jack Dempsey, Murphy Walker and Seb Stephen have joined the Scotland squad ahead of the final two matches of the 2026 Guinness Six Nations.

Jack Dempsey sustained a bicep injury during the victory against England but has returned to the squad and will continue to be monitored by the medical team ahead of the final two fixtures.

Murphy Walker last played for Scotland during November’s Quilter Nations Series in the 85-0 win over USA and joins fellow Glasgow Warriors clubmate Seb Stephen who is also called up to the squad. Stephen started for the Warriors over the weekend, with the 20-year-old featuring for the club in their wins over Toulouse and Saracens this season.
