Scotland boss Gregor Townsend has included a dozen uncapped players in his squad of 42 for the Autumn Nations Series featuring games versus Tonga, Australia, South Africa and Japan. The Scots had a min-training camp earlier this week featuring their Scottish-based players and Sharks’ Dylan Richardson, but they have now unveiled a squad that includes all their Lions tour picks.

That contingent contains captain Stuart Hogg, half-back pairing Ali Price and Finn Russell, centre Chris Harris, winger Duhan van der Merwe, flanker Hamish Watson as well as props Zander Fagerson and Rory Sutherland following their involvement in the series versus the Springboks.

Townsend has also selected twelve uncapped players for the Scotland squad following their initial involvement in the training group this week. Ewan Ashman, Josh Bayliss, Rory Darge, Richardson, Luke Crosbie, Jamie Hodgson, Marshall Sykes and Pierre Schoeman feature in the pack with Glasgow providing all four uncapped backs in Rufus McLean, Jamie Dobie, Ross Thompson and Sione Tuipulotu.

      Louis Rees-Zammit joins Marc, Max and Ryan this week to reveal all about being the youngest player on the Lions Tour to South Africa, taking care of Bill, fines, becoming a social media sensation, Gloucester initiations and lots more. We also cover all the weekly action, including Max’s incredible game against Harlequins, another W for Ryan against South African opposition and the potential fallout from the agents v clubs row in the premiership. Enjoy!

      Townsend said: “It’s exciting to bring together a blend of highly experienced and uncapped players. There have been some notable performances from both our home-based players and those at clubs outside of Scotland, which has enabled us as coaches to select a group which are playing well and will be motivated across the four games.

      “We also feel that the right time to bring in some younger players given their early-season form. They have created opportunities for themselves to represent their country and we believe that they will thrive in the Test match environment.”

      Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

      My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
