Scotland name squad for their 2017 Summer Tour
Scotland Head Coach Gregor Townsend has today named three uncapped players in a 34-man Scotland squad for next month’s three-test summer tour.
Glasgow Warriors’ centre Nick Grigg, prop D’Arcy Rae and Edinburgh Rugby hooker George Turner are the uncapped players to tour and will look to add international honours to their senior club careers.
The Scotland squad also welcomes the return of Pete Horne and Willem Nel from injury, while there are notable recalls for Glasgow Warriors wing Lee Jones, Harlequins back Ruaridh Jackson and Edinburgh Rugby scrum-half Sam Hidalgo-Clyne – who steps into the squad for Greig Laidlaw, recently called up for the British & Irish Lions tour of New Zealand.
