West Australian Alex Masibaka has been summoned from the French second tier to join the injury-hit Scotland squad ahead of this weekend's start to the Six Nations.

The former Western Force back-rower is one of five players called up by the Scots ahead of Saturday's visit of Italy.

Masibaka has been called up after impressing in the French second flight with Soyaux-Angouleme, where he is on loan from Montpellier.

The 23-year-old from Perth qualifies for Scotland through his Paisley-born mother. He could also have played for Fiji through his father.

Euan Ferrie, Cameron Henderson, Ewan Johnson and Ollie Smith have also joined up with the squad.

Scotland have suffered several injuries one of which ruled their Aussie-born captain Sione Tuipulotu out of the Six Nations.
