Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend has named a 42-man squad for the Autumn Nations Series Tests against Tonga, Australia and South Africa.

Included in the group are Scotland's full complement of British and Irish Lions involved in this summer's South Africa tour, including captain Stuart Hogg, wing Duhan Van Der Merwe, plus half-backs Finn Russell and Ali Price.

Townsend has also selected 12 uncapped players, with that contingent featuring the likes of Ewan Ashman, Josh Bayliss, Dylan Richardson and Pierre Schoeman.

Scotland conclude their autumn fixtures against Japan on November 20, with Tonga being the opening game in 10 days' time.

"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," said Townsend.
