Paisley Daily Express
|March 06, 2026
RUGBY UNION Jack Dempsey has been passed fit to return to Scotland's starting XV for Saturday's Guinness Six Nations showdown with France at Murrayfield.
-
The influential back-rower's championship initially appeared to be over after he suffered a bicep injury in last month's win over England.
But after sitting out the victory away to Wales last time out, Dempsey rejoined the squad to prepare for this weekend's top-of-the-table clash with France.
Having proved his fitness in training this week, the 31-year-old has been restored as one of five personnel changes to the team that started in Cardiff.
