LONDON — Scotland captain Stuart Hogg and
key playmaker
Finn Russell were both left out of a 40-man squad announced
Wednesday for an upcoming tour of South America.

Full-back Hogg and fly-half Russell have both had a
heavy playing schedule since they were each involved in last year’s British and
Irish Lions series in South Africa.
But they were also among a group of six players
involved in a disciplinary issue following a night out in Edinburgh after a Six
Nations win away to Italy, which cast doubt over whether Hogg would retain the
captaincy after a tournament where Scotland finished fourth had been completed.
Edinburgh lock Grant Gilchrist has been named as
skipper for the upcoming tour, which will include an ‘A’ match against Chile
later this month and three Tests against Argentina in July.
Chris Harris, who was
also involved in the Lions squad, is not included, but Hamish Watson, Ali
Price, Duhan van der Merwe and Zander Fagerson, who all appeared for the combined
side, have been selected by Scotland coach Gregor Townsend.
