Meanwhile, Simon Webster, the 33-times-capped winger has also been handed a call-up after proving his fitness to the Scotland medical staff after missing the tail-end of the season with a hamstring problem.

As far as the two remaining vacancies are concerned, Hadden is asking Glasgow Warriors captain Alastair Kellock and Edinburgh lock Craig Hamilton to attend pre-tour training at Murrayfield next week._Hadden is also continuing to monitor closely the possible availability of Scotland’s most-capped player, Scott Murray._Murray, now with Montauban in France, has two home league matches against Bayonne and Clermont over the next two weekends and has expressed optimism that if both matches are won he may be released for the tour. A final decision on the two vacancies will be made next week.
