Darge has co-captained Scotland along with Finn Russell in the last two Guinness Six Nations championships. He will lead a squad of 36 players with a number of familiar faces returning to the group.

Andy Onyeama-Christie has been selected after overcoming an ankle injury sustained in October 2024. He made his return for Saracens in March.

Hooker George Turner also comes back into the fold after missing the last year of international rugby following his move to Kobelco Kobe Steelers in Japan. He has since signed for Harlequins next year and will aim to add to his 45 caps amassed thus far.

There are three uncapped players named in the squad in the shape of stand-off Fergus Burke, back-row Alexander Masibaka and tighthead prop Fin Richardson. Burke and Masibaka were both included in the Guinness Six Nations squad, when they trained regularly with the team, and Richardson has national team experience having travelled out to Chile and Uruguay on last year’s summer tour.

There are eight Glasgow Warriors backs named, following their exit in the United Rugby Championship play-offs over the weekend. Toulon’s Ben White is chosen for his second summer tour and Arron Reed has been rewarded with a call-up after making his debut for Scotland last July.

Edinburgh Rugby’s Darcy Graham, Harry Paterson and Matt Currie have been called up along with Bath’s Cameron Redpath, who has sights set on the Premiership final this weekend alongside Leicester. From the two finalists, Bath’s Josh Bayliss and Tigers’ Cameron Henderson will also tour with the squad.

After missing out on the Guinness Six Nations, Max Williamson is back in the squad after impressing against South Africa in the autumn.

Alec Hepburn, Nathan McBeth and Rory Sutherland will compete for the loosehead position while Will Hurd and Elliot Millar Mills join Richardson as the tighthead options.

Hookers Patrick Harrison and Ewan Ashman have been familiar figures in the squad over the last year, Harrison being one of seven players in the squad who made their debuts on the Skyscanner Americas tour last year, and they join Turner as hooking options.

Marshall Sykes made his Guinness Six Nations debut in March against France and he continues in the squad where he’s joined by fellow second rows Max Williamson, Gregor Brown, Henderson and the experienced Grant Gilchrist.

In the back row, Matt Fagerson has been selected as he continues his recovery from injury, along with Jamie Ritchie, Ben Muncaster, Darge, Bayliss, Onyeama-Christie and Masibaka.

The tour kicks off with a match against the Māori All Blacks on Saturday 5 July, and will be the first time the sides have met since 2000, when the hosts edged a narrow encounter 18-15 in New Plymouth. It will be just the third match between the Māori and Scotland with the other game coming at Murrayfield in Edinburgh in 1998.

The tourists will then take on Fiji, with the match marking Scotland’s first game on Fijian soil since 2017. Scotland’s last match against Fiji took place in November 2024 when the home side ran out 57-17 winners, with Darcy Graham scoring four tries.

The tour will finish on Friday 18 July when Scotland take on Samoa. The last time the two sides played against each other was six years ago, when Scotland won 34-0 during the 2019 Rugby World Cup. The match will take place in Auckland, New Zealand, at the historic Eden Park.
