Add article description


This is a list of Scottish national rugby union players, i.e. those who have played for the Scotland national rugby union team. The list only includes players who have played in a Test match.

In 2023, the Scottish Rugby Union made the decision to award caps to 56 players who only took part in 23 games which had not been considered full tests (during or just after the Second World War, and against emerging nations in the late 20th century).[1] A further 17 players from four matches were added three months later (as well as one player misidentified as his brother, who had already been included in the earlier set of players).[2]

Players

Note that the "position" column lists the position at which the player made his Test debut, not necessarily the position for which he is best known. A position in parentheses indicates that the player debuted as a substitute.
