Last updated on .From the section Scottish Rugby
Scotland have named three uncapped players in the 26-woman squad for the Test matches away to South Africa on 30 September and 5 October.
Prop Anne Young, number eight Christine Belisle and fly-half Sarah Denholm are all newcomers to Philip Doyle's squad.
Doyle has also named Helen Nelson as tour captain.
"I am really excited to see what this squad can produce in South Africa," Doyle told the Scottish Rugby website.
"We have had two very successful training camps with large numbers of players involved. There are a lot experienced players who have not been selected for this tour.
"Selection has been tough and this is due to the increasing standards of all players. This can only bode well for the rest of the season and shows the depth that we are able to add to the squad."
