Saints prop Millar Mills added to Scotland's Six Nations squad

The 31-year-old arrived at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens after spells with Edinburgh and Bath last season, having started the campaign with Wasps before the club went into administration in October 2022.

He has made 15 appearances for Saints so far, starting twice.

And now the uncapped tighthead has been selected by Scotland, who have been hit by injuries to prop Will Hurd and fly-half Adam Hastings.

Stockport-born Millar Mills qualifies for Scotland through his mother and will follow in the international footsteps of sister Bridget, who has represented the Scotland women’s national team.

Millar Mills will be in camp with Saints team-mate Rory Hutchinson, who was named in Scotland’s squad for the first time since 2022 last week.
