SEAN EVERITT has called on his Scotland stars to give Gregor Townsend a Calcutta Cup selection headache when Edinburgh take on Zebre tonight.
National coach Townsend has kept back five Edinburgh players after the back-to-back Six Nations games against Wales and France in order to give them a break before next Saturday's Murrayfield showdown with England.
But Everitt has still been able to name seven members of the current Scotland squad in his matchday 23 for the trip to Parma.
That's as well as Hamish Watson, who will be making his 150th appearance for the club but is out of favour at national level.
Former Scotland skipper dropped by Jamie Ritchie Townsend for the Les Bleus loss - captains his club.
And the 27-year-old will be joined by Ali Price, Ben Healy, Harry Paterson, WP Nel, Javan Sebastian as well as Glen Young from the current wider Scotland squad.
