REPORTS: Jack Dempsey set to be included in Scotland’s squad

According to reports, former Wallabies back-rower Jack Dempsey is set to be included in Scotland’s squad for the Autumn internationals.

The 28-year-old has not been included in the Australia squad, paving the way for the Glasgow Warriors No 8 to be called up by Scotland tomorrow.

The former Waratahs player has 14 Wallabies caps, the most recent of them came on October 11 2019, meaning he has now served the three-year stand-down period stipulated in the new World Rugby regulations for players who wish to represent another nation for which they qualify through bloodline.

Gregor Townsend is expected to name his Autumn squad on Wednesday.
