The former sprinter has a 10.67 100m time and all with a 6’4 frame. Owsley is qualified for Scotland through his grandmother, who is from Govan.

Scotland international Darcy Graham will return on the other wing while centre Cammy Hutchison and Fijian number eight Mesu Kunavula also come back from injury, the latter making his first start of the season.

      Former Harlequins lock Glen Young will make his first start for the club and Dave Cherry is back in the team while Stuart McInally is available again as one of the replacements.

      Head Coach Mike Blair said: “We were obviously frustrated with last weekend’s loss to London Irish, however, after a good week of training you can feel the buzz around the squad to get a reaction and we’re really excited to be back in front of our home support at DAM Health Stadium this Friday night.

      “We’ve made a number of changes to the squad and we’re excited to see those guys get their chance, including Freddie, who’s had to remain patient for his opportunity but has really invested in himself by working hard at his game and driving his self-improvement.

      “We’ve spoken this week about physicality and speed of thought but also around engaging our supporters by imposing our game on Brive.”

      What World Rugby say about Dan Sheehan's controversial Lions try

      See the last paragraph of World Rugby clarification 3-2022

      World Rugby Passport - Clarification 3-2022 which reads

      “In principle, in a try scoring situation, if the action is deemed to be a dive forward for a try, then it should be permitted. If a player is deemed to have left the ground to avoid a tackle; or to jump, or hurdle a potential tackler, then this is dangerous play and should be sanctioned accordingly”.


      As I said, 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. World Rugby needs to clarify their clarification! So did Sheehan leave the ground to avoid a tackle? If so, then Sheehan should have been penalised.
