Kyle Steyn & Scott Cummings added to Scotland World Cup training squad

Uncapped Glasgow Warriors duo Scott Cummings and Kyle Steyn have been added to Scotland's World Cup training squad by head coach Gregor Townsend.

Townsend initially named 42 players and said Toulouse lock Richie Gray could still claim one of two vacant spots.

But Cummings has been preferred after a strong finish to the term, culminating in a Pro14 final appearance.

Steyn has shone for Glasgow at centre, but Townsend said he is being primarily considered as a winger.

"Kyle has made an excellent impact since his debut for Glasgow earlier this season and has displayed strong defensive capabilities as well as a providing go-forward when carrying ball," Townsend said.

"We have others in our squad that we view more as centre/wings but I'm sure over the course of the summer Kyle will get the opportunity to show what he can do in both positions.

"Scott's selection is a testament to how well he has performed throughout the season and in particular over the past few weeks."

Scotland will play home and away summer Tests against Georgia and France before the autumn World Cup in Japan.

There the Scots will face the hosts as well as Ireland, Russia and Samoa.
