Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend has made three injury-enforced additions to his Nations Championship squad ahead of Saturday's clash against New Zealand at Murrayfield.
Elliot Millar Mills and Jamie Ritchie have withdrawn through injury, with three Edinburgh Rugby players joining the national squad for the November internationals.
Elliot Millar Mills and Jamie Ritchie Ruled Out
Newcastle Red Bulls Millar Mills and Glasgow Warriors forward Ritchie have been ruled out of Scotland's squad through injury.
Both the players have earned a combined 78 international caps, with Ritchie making 63 appearances and Millar Mills winning 15 caps for Scotland.
Townsend has called up Edinburgh trio Ollie Blyth-Lafferty, Freddy Douglas and D'Arcy Rae as preparations continue for the upcoming Nations Championship fixtures.
Uncapped Ollie Blyth-Lafferty Joins Scotland Squad
Twenty-year-old tighthead prop Blyth-Lafferty joins the senior Scotland squad without a Test cap, following an impressive start to the season with Edinburgh.
Flanker Freddy Douglas also joins the squad, having previously represented Scotland against Fiji during July's Nations Championship fixtures.
Meanwhile, experienced prop D'Arcy Rae returns to the national setup after recovering from a calf injury. Rae previously featured for Scotland during the 2026 Six Nations Championship.
Scotland face the All Blacks at Murrayfield on Saturday, November 7.
