Saints centre Hutchinson selected by Scotland for Six Nations

Hutchinson returns to the squad for the first time since 2022.

The 27-year-old last appeared in a Scotland shirt against Argentina in the side’s summer tour that year, earning his eighth cap when he started that clash at full-back.

Hutchinson has been back to his best for Saints this term, with his 12 impressive performances putting him firmly back on the radar of Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend.
