Prop Murray called-up for Scotland duty

Worcester Warriors prop Euan Murray has been called up for Scotland duty ahead of the autumn internationals.

Five uncapped players have been named in the 41-strong Scotland squad for a training camp in Glasgow next week ahead of the viagogo Autumn Tests.

The quintet are Glasgow Warriors’ Mark Bennett, Jonny Gray and Chris Fusaro and the London Irish back-row pair of Kieran Low and Blair Cowan.

All are in contention for Scotland’s matches against Japan (9 November), South Africa (17 November) and Australia (23 November), tickets for which are on sale now via www.scottishrugby.org

Some 28 of the squad, including Murray, toured with Scotland during the quadrangular tournament in South Africa in the summer.

Scotland Head Coach Scott Johnson said: “This squad is about getting the job right for our upcoming Test matches but it’s also about the next 24 months as we build towards Rugby World Cup 2015.”

Murray has started three matches for Warriors this season and has racked-up 18 appearances for the club since his move from Newcastle Falcons last autumn.
