Scotland call up four players for final Six Nations clash against France
Scotland have called up four players for their final Six Nations match against France this weekend.
Glasgow Warriors trio Adam Hastings, Jack Mann and Kyle Steyn have joined up with the camp, along with Alexander Masibaka of French side Soyaux-Angouleme.
Back-rower Mann was involved in the build-up to Scotland's first three matches in the tournament but missed last week due to a concussion sustained against Ospreys.
Hastings made his return from injury earlier this month, while Masibaka also adds cover at back-row with co-captain Rory Darge an injury doubt for Saturday's clash.
There is a welcome inclusion for winger Steyn, who missed the start of the tournament due to injury.
Cameron Henderson, Arron Reed, Cameron Redpath and Rory Hutchinson all dropped out of the squad having not played a minute between them in the tournament.

Scotland are fourth in the table with one match remaining, while France are a point clear of England at the top following their dominant victory over Ireland on Saturday.
France have won 20 of their 25 previous clashes with Scotland in the Six Nations (L5). However, four of their five losses to them have come in their most recent nine encounters.
Gregor Townsend's side, meanwhile, have lost each of their last three away games in the Six Nations, their worst run since a five-game streak between 2016 and 2018.
Their defeats in this active run have all come by four points or fewer, and they will be out to end their campaign on a high this weekend.
