Ben Muncaster (Sh 16-20), having earned his first cap for Scotland vs Portugal in November 2024, made his first appearance in the Six Nations Championship on Saturday 15 March vs France. Ben was selected at the first opportunity following the injury he sustained playing for Edinburgh before the tournament began. Ben came off the bench at the Stade de France after 66 minutes, replacing Rory Darge at open side flanker during a competitive but ultimately frustrating 35-16 loss to the impressive 2025 Six Nations Champions. Ben's performances in the back row for Edinburgh Rugby have seen him advance his case for a regular place in the side, and he can surely approach next year's internationals with justified optimism.
