Hiddleston and Stephen Included in Scotland Squad
Uncapped hookers Gregor Hiddleston and Seb Stephen have been selected in Scotland's 36-man squad for the upcoming summer tour matches against Argentina, South Africa, and Fiji at Murrayfield.
Both players have previously represented Scotland at the Under-20 level, with Hiddleston, 24, also earning two Scotland A caps. Stephen, 20, who plays alongside Hiddleston at Glasgow Warriors, featured for Emerging Scotland last year.
Gregor Townsend's team is scheduled to face the Argentina Pumas in Cordoba on 4 July, the South African Springboks in Pretoria on 11 July, and Fiji in Edinburgh on 18 July.
Glasgow centre Sione Tuipulotu will continue as captain. Additionally, Liam McConnell, D'arcy Rae, and Duhan van der Merwe will join the Scotland squad after participating in the Barbarians' matches against South Africa and Wales later this month.
Another Glasgow Warriors centre, Huw Jones, is absent from Townsend's squad due to injury.
Scotland concluded this year's Six Nations Championship in third place, securing three wins out of five matches.
