Scotland interim head coach Scott Johnson has named 10 uncapped players in a 35-man squad for a training camp in Glasgow next week ahead of their RBS 6 Nations campaign.
Johnson, looking to impress in his role after taking the reins from Andy Robinson late last year, suffered a double blow last week with Mike Blair retiring and Nick de Luca ruled out for two months due to a fractured eye socket.
The former Ospreys coach has therefore opted to take a look at several promising players, with back-row forwards Ryan Wilson and Chris Fusaro, scrum-half Sean Kennedy, hooker Pat MacArthur and wing Sean Maitland named in a Scotland squad for the first time.
Scotland squad for training camp in Glasgow ahead of Six Nations:
Backs: P Murchie, S Hogg, S Maitland, T Seymour, S Lamont (all Glasgow), T Visser (Edinburgh), M Evans (Castres), M Scott (Edinburgh), A Dunbar, P Horne, D Weir, R Jackson (all Glasgow), T Heathcote (Bath), H Pyrgos, S Kennedy (both Glasgow), G Laidlaw (Edinburgh).
