Gregor Townsend adds two players to Scotland’s summer tour squad

After news that Sean Maitland has ruled out with injured ankle ligaments, Head Coach Gregor Townsend has added two players to Scotland’s summer tour squad.

Glasgow Warriors wing Rory Hughes and London Irish full-back Greig Tonks have been named in the Scotland touring squad, stepping in for Maitland, who will remain in the care of his club’s medical team.

Twice capped Rory Hughes (24) last featured for Scotland in the autumn, when he started the third test victory over Georgia at Rugby Park, Kilmarnock.

Tonks (27) has been capped six times for his country and last featured for the national team in the 2015 summer test win against Italy in Turin.

Scotland will face their opponents on consecutive Saturdays, starting with an historic test match against Italy in Singapore (10 June), followed by Australia in Sydney (17 June) and Fiji in Suva (24 June).
