Cumbrian star Chris Harris will have a crack at Australia and New Zealand after being named in Scotland’s squad for their Autumn Nations Series.

The Gloucester centre is included in a 40-man squad for games against the Aussies, All Blacks, Fiji and Argentina.

Former Carlisle Rugby Club man Harris will have the opportunity to add to his 36-caps in the quadruple-header at Murrayfield.

Scotland take on Australia next Saturday before games against Fiji, New Zealand and Argentina on the subsequent weekends.

Scotland boss Gregor Townsend said: “We can’t wait for the games.”
