GC7s squads: Pool C (FIJ, AUS, SCO, POR)
Lee Jones represented Scotland at the Commonwealth Games in July
New Scotland Sevens coach Calum MacRae has named his first squad for the opening round of the HSBC Sevens World Series in Australia.
Damien Hoyland and Nyle Godsmark will make their debuts having earned selection for the Gold Coast Sevens which takes place on October 11-12.
“Damien proved that he is capable of performing well at this level of sevens during the Rugby Europe Grand Prix Sevens Series,” said MacRae.
“Nyle has performed well in the Rugby Europe tournaments and has earned his chance. He’s more than a squad player to the group and should push the more established members for a starting slot.”
James Eddie and Lee Jones return to the side for the first time since the Commonwealth Games in July, while the side will have a new captain in Scott Wight.
Scotland squad: Scott Riddell, James Eddie, Struan Dewar, James Johnstone, Colin Gregor, Mark Robertson, Damien Hoyland, Nyle Godsmark, Rory Hughes, Scott Wight (captain), Lee Jones, Lewis Young
