Scotland rugby position battles and player comparisons

Scotland rugby has ongoing position battles across the squad, particularly at fly-half where Ben Heathcote and Blair Kinghorn compete, at centre with Semu Setiti and Matt Shiel vying for spots, and in the back row where competing flankers and number eights push for selection. The front row also sees competition between hookers and props as Scotland develops squad depth under current coaching structures. These competitions strengthen the team's overall standard ahead of Six Nations fixtures.
