Notes:

• Shortly before the squad was announced coach Austin MacPhee left the set-up to take a role with Scotland. He was replaced by Leicester coach, Adam Sadler. Sadler however was unable to join up with the squad following a family bereavement.
• Shane Ferguson scores his second international goal on his 50th appearance. He had taken the captain's armband from Niall McGinn after coming off the bench.
