New Zealand-born Saracens fly-half says he could also have played for England, but Scotland's style suits his game.
The squad includes former New Zealand U20 representative and ex-Crusaders first-five Fergus Burke, who has been playing in the Gallagher Premiership with Saracens.
Senior sources have confirmed that Burke is a serious consideration for the upcoming Scotland squad being named early next week for the Six Nations.
