Turner recalled for Scotland's summer Pacific Tour

George Turner is recalled by Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend for their summer Pacific Tour after a year out while playing in Japan.

But there is no place in the 36-man party to face the Maori All Blacks, Fiji and Samoa for fellow hooker Dave Cherry and Ali Price, who are both leaving Edinburgh this summer, and experienced lock Jonny Gray.

Glasgow Warriors number eight Jack Dempsey, Edinburgh flanker Luke Crosbie and centre Mosese Tuipulotu all miss out through injury.

Warriors prop Fin Richardson is called up for the first time to a squad minus seven players involved with the British and Irish Lions.

Finn Russell, who was co-captain for the Six Nations, is one of those absentees, so Rory Darge is named as skipper on his own this time.

Uncapped Soyaux Angoulême XV Charente number eight Alex Masibaka and Saracens fly-half Fergus Burke, who were in this season's Six Nations squad without playing, are included.

Saracens forward Andy Onyeama-Christie and Glasgow lock Max Williamson return after missing the Six Nations through injury.

Glasgow forward Matt Fagerson has been selected as he continues his recovery from injury.
