DEPARTING Worcester Warriors back rower David Denton has been named in a 33-man Scotland squad for their summer tour to Canada, USA and Argentina next month.

The 28-year-old forward who is set to join Leicester Tigers has kept his place in the side after featuring in this year’s Six Nations.

Head coach Gregor Townsend has selected six uncapped players with Edinburgh duo Lewis Carmichael and Jamie Ritchie joined by Glasgow Warriors back-row Matt Fagerson in the pack.

Glasgow half-backs George Horne and Adam Hastings earn the opportunity to continue a stellar debut season on the tour, alongside former Scotland U18 and Harlequins midfielder James Lang who also gets the call.

Carl Hogg who will leave Sixways this summer after five years as Warriors' head coach will form part of Scotland's coaching set up.

The 48-year-old has agreed to join them on an interim basis and will work with the forwards alongside assistant coach Dan McFarland.

Scotland take on Canada at the Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton on Saturday, June 9 (7.10pm) before taking on USA on BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston on Saturday, June 16 (7pm).

They will then wrap up the series with a clash against Argentina at the Estadio Centenario on the weekend of June 22.

“There are twin goals for this tour - the first is to build on the work we’ve done so far this season and finish with improved performances,” Townsend said.

“We also have the Rugby World Cup in our thoughts, as this will be our last tour before we leave for Japan next year.

“Touring and staying together for four weeks and experiencing different environments will be very informative - seeing how players get on with each other, how much they improve and how they rise to each challenge we face on tour.”
