Six Nations 2025: Scotland squad includes Fergus Burke & Jack Mann

Advertisements

Saracens’ New Zealand-born stand-off Fergus Burke has been named in Scotland’s squad for the 2025 Six Nations.

Burke joined the English club last summer to fill the void left by former England captain Owen Farrell’s move to France.

The 25-year-old was born in Gisborne on New Zealand’s North Island but is eligible for Scotland through a grandfather from Glasgow.

Gregor Townsend, preparing to lead the side into his eighth championship, has also called up uncapped Glasgow Warriors number eight Jack Mann.

Scotland begin their campaign at home against Italy on 1 February, with defending champions Ireland the visitors to Murrayfield eight days later.

Scotland won twice in the 2024 Six Nations but lost tight games against France and Italy to finish fourth in the table.
