Experienced scrum-half Ali Price has joined Scotland's training squad ahead of Sunday's Nations Championship clash against Australia at Scottish Gas Murrayfield.

The 33-year-old Montpellier player replaces Gus Warr, who has returned to Gallagher PREM club Sale Sharks after training with Gregor Townsend's squad.

Ali Price Returns to Scotland Squad After Two Years

Price has not represented Scotland since starting against Fiji in November 2024 and returns to the national setup with considerable Test experience.

The experienced scrum-half was previously called into Scotland's squad ahead of their 2025 Six Nations encounter with England but did not feature in the match.

His latest inclusion follows a strong period with Montpellier, who are currently third in the French Top 14 standings.

Price joins Ben White, George Horne and Jamie Dobie among Scotland's scrum-half options ahead of the Australia fixture.

Price has continued to feature for Montpellier this season following the club's European Challenge Cup triumph and Top 14 final appearance in 2025/26.

Meanwhile, Warr returns to Sale Sharks after joining Scotland's training squad last week.
