Three call-ups for Scotland as loose forwards duo drop out through injury
EDINBURGH, March 3 (Reuters) - Scotland have recalled Matt Currie and added prop Nathan McBeth and loose forward Ben Muncaster to their squad for their home clash against Wales in the Six Nations on Saturday. Scottish Rugby said on Monday Currie was recalled to the Scotland squad after a successful return from concussion when he scored a hat-trick of tries for Edinburgh against Munster in the United Rugby Championship on Friday. Teammate Muncaster comes in as cover after Luke Crosbie and Jack Mann were ruled out due to injury. Crosbie was hurt playing for Edinburgh in Cork on Friday night while Mann suffered a head injury while playing for Glasgow Warriors against Ospreys on Saturday and is now following World Rugby's concussion protocols. British & Irish Lions scrumhalf Ali Price and winger Ross McCann were released from the Scottish squad, a statement added. Scotland are looking to bounce back after defeats to Ireland and England while bottom-of-the-table Wales are seeking to end a record breaking run of 15 successive defeats

'Boffelli return a real fillip as URC resumes'
This is an Edinburgh column but it's been written in the wake of Sunday's Scotland game, so you'll understand my frustration if I mention that Ireland are an excellent team and would still be even if they played within the rules well as being a good team they somehow manage to get inside the Scottish psyche before a man in a green shirt is offside or a deliberate knock-on actually is rugby this weekend as the United Rugby Championship resumes and Edinburgh take on Zebre Parma on Friday night. It's a pretty big game for the capital side. Only five points separate sixth from 12th and Edinburgh are currently sitting in eighth at the heart of that a game Edinburgh should win as our record against Zebre is very good.

'Boffelli return a real fillip as URC resumes'
This is an Edinburgh column but it's been written in the wake of Sunday's Scotland game, so you'll understand my frustration if I mention that Ireland are an excellent team and would still be even if they played within the rules occasionally. As well as being a good team they somehow manage to get inside the Scottish psyche before a man in a green shirt is offside or a deliberate knock-on actually happens. There is rugby this weekend as the United Rugby Championship resumes and Edinburgh take on Zebre Parma on Friday night. It's a pretty big game for the capital side. Only five points separate sixth from 12th and Edinburgh are currently sitting in eighth at the heart of that maelstrom. It's a game Edinburgh should win as our record against Zebre is very good. We have played them 19 times and only lost four. But, and it's the usual but, when it comes to Edinburgh, we can confound even the smartest betting algorithm. To add to the jeopardy it's hard to see what team we will be able to put out. As far as Scotland releases go, none of the following have played any part in the opening two games of the Six Nations and could be made available - Luke Crosbie, Matt Currie, Patrick Harrison, D'Arcy Rae, and Marshall Sykes. Ben Muncaster is good to go and there is exciting news that Emiliano Boffelli is fit, which is a real fillip. Edinburgh should be good enough to continue a winning streak against Zebre that goes back to 2018, just so long as we approach it on the basis that they have only won one less game in their campaign than we have and react accordingly.
