Scotland add seven players to Six Nations squad, confirm they'll appeal Fagerson ban
By PA
Bath back-row Josh Bayliss has been called up to the Scotland squad for the first time for Sunday’s Six Nations match against France.
Glasgow Warriors scrum-half Jamie Dobie has also received his first full call-up having trained with the squad at the start of the season.
Meanwhile Scotland have confirmed they will appeal the four-match ban handed to prop Zander Fagerson following his red card against Wales.
Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend said: “We welcome Josh into our squad as we look to build on our opening two games of the Championship.
“We have been following his performances with Bath and a combination of his form and a couple of injuries in our squad, have given us the opportunity to involve him for the first time.
“We are also delighted to add Jamie Dobie to our group following his impressive outing for Glasgow on Friday night and the quality he showed while training with us prior to our game against England.”
Bath’s Jamie Bhatti, Worcester’s Cornell du Preez and Glasgow Warriors duo Rob Harley and Sam Johnson also make their return to the squad.

I wonder how Leinster will use Jordie. I would rate the current centres there above him, and the rest of the backline is strong. Pity he did not go out to Connacht, or up to Ulster....both would really benefit from a player of his class.
Go to commentsI am saddened that this is how Brendan Mullin has ended up. I met him in the 70's as a 16 year old , when attending a trial for an Irish Schools age group sevens team. I was coaching in Ulster at the time, and we had a player in contention.
On the way back up to Belfast, he was on the train for part of the way out of Dublin, and I got to know him a bit. He told me was born in Jerusalem, lived some years there. He was now being educated at the rugby powerhouse, Blackrock College. He made that team, as did my player. His immense talent was clear at that age.
