Scotland coach Calum MacRae has made two changes to the squad which reached a first Cup quarter-final of the season for the seventh round of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series in Hong Kong.

The changes see Scott Riddell replaced by Mark Robertson, and Rory Hughes come in for his Glasgow Warriors’ teammate Junior Bulumakau for a tournament which will see Scotland face South Africa, England and Russia in Pool B.

“It was good to progress to the last eight of the Vancouver leg and we are looking to build on that with four tournaments to go in the series,” said MacRae.

“We know there is more to come from the group and our training at Ravenscraig is going well.

“Hong Kong is the biggest stage on the series and the anticipation is evident, the players are really looking forward to it. For some it’s their first time there, which is special.

“We’re facing a tough group, but one we can progress from with strong performances. Dougie Fife and Rory Hughes will also add quality and experience to the squad.

“Dougie played well on his first outing for a while in Vancouver and Rory has demonstrated his ability in training to line break with his running game — I’m looking forward to watching him out there and seeing what this squad can achieve.”

Scotland squad: Hugh Blake, Jamie Farndale, Dougie Fife, James Fleming, Rory Hughes, James Johnstone, Gavin Lowe, Fraser Lyle, Nick McLennan, Joe Nayacavou, Mark Robertson, Scott Wight (captain)
