In preparation for the November rugby internationals, Scotland has introduced three uncapped athletes into their 45-man squad, with Sione Tuipulotu making a comeback as captain after missing the Six Nations earlier this year due to injury.

The squad selection made by Coach Gregor Townsend comprises 27 forwards and 18 backs, aiming to face off against rugby powerhouses including the United States, New Zealand, Argentina, and Tonga over consecutive weekends.

Notably, 11 players who joined the British & Irish Lions tour are part of the squad, alongside Edinburgh captain Magnus Bradbury, who seeks to earn his first Scotland cap since the 2022 tour to Argentina. Townsend emphasized the squad's competitiveness and depth in various positions.
