When players play for any of these 3 senior sides; they commit their nationality to Scotland; and cannot then normally switch nationality to another international side.

The non-cap Scotland XV side started in 1969, the Scotland 'B' side introduced in 1971 was for uncapped players; and the start of the age-grade pathway sides - like the Under 21 side - whi ...
