Coach Frank Hadden has named uncapped Glasgow Warriors center, Max Evans, in the Scotland training squad for next month's Bank of Scotland Corporate Autumn Tests.

In addition to Evans, his younger brother Thom also features in the 31-strong squad as well as John Barclay, Kelly Brown, Dougie Hall, Graeme Morrison and Dan Parks. Hooker Fergus Thomson was not considered due to injury.

Hadden said: "We know the huge importance of our November matches given the draw for the 2011 Rugby World Cup and at this stage I’m pleased at the competition we have for places.

“Twenty three of the squad were with us in Argentina during the summer, including Max Evans and Geoff Cross, and we’ve been impressed especially by the manner in which Max and Geoff have raised their game this season.”

The squad will convene at a warm-weather training camp in Spain on Monday with Exiles in their club team’s match-day 22 released on the Wednesday evening, as determined by an International Rugby Board ruling last week. All other players will remain at the camp throughout the week.

Hadden said: “This is the best route to maximise the limited time we have together for the matches against the All Blacks, Springboks and Canada.

“Our training facilities on the back pitches at Murrayfield are currently being enhanced and are thus out of the equation, so we have identified the warm-weather camp in Spain as the ideal route.”
