Frank Hadden has opted for 17 forwards and 13 backs in his 30 man squad. Uncapped Glasgow flanker John Barclay has been included in the squad, but fly-half Gordon Ross and winger Simon Danielli are among those to miss out. Injuries to Scott Lawson and Chris Cusiter have prompted the choice of three hookers and three scrum-halves.
Twenty of the group will be experiencing World Cup rugby for the first time, while Scott Murray and Chris Paterson will get a third taste of the event.
Squad:
Backs: H Southwell (Edinburgh), R Lamont (Sale), S Lamont (Northampton), S Webster (Edinburgh), N Walker (Ospreys), R Dewey (Ulster), M Di Rollo (Edinburgh), A Henderson (Glasgow), D Parks (Glasgow Warriors), C Paterson (Gloucester), M Blair (Edinburgh), C Cusiter (Perpignan)and R Lawson (Gloucester).
Forwards: A Jacobsen (Edinburgh), G Kerr (Glasgow), E Murray (Northampton), C Smith (Edinburgh), R Ford (Glasgow), S Lawson (Sale), F Thomson (Glasgow), J Hamilton (Leicester), N Hines (Perpignan), S MacLeod (Scarlets), S Murray (Montauban), S Taylor (Stade Francais), J Barclay (Glasgow), K Brown (Glasgow), D Callam (Edinburgh), A Hogg (Edinburgh) and J White (Sale, captain).
