Scotland coach Gregor Townsend named uncapped New Zealand-born flyhalf Fergus Burke and number eight Jack Mann in his squad for the Six Nations Championship, but experienced trio Kyle Steyn, Adam Hastings and Cameron Redpath are sidelined with injury.

Fergus Burke, the Saracens fly-half who also qualifies to represent England and New Zealand, has been called up for his first involvement in a Scotland squad ahead of the Six Nations.

Gregor Townsend has urged his Scotland players to “attack” the upcoming Six Nations and give “everything they have got” after learning from the pain of last year’s campaign. Townsend named a 37-man squad for the opening games against Italy and Ireland with Saracens fly half Fergus Burke, 25, a new call-up.
