EDINBURGH (Reuters) - Scotland handed South African-born winger Duhan van der Merwe a first cap when coach Gregor Townsend on Wednesday named his team for the test against Georgia at Murrayfield on Friday.

Front row forward Oli Kebble, another uncapped South African-born player, is listed among the replacements for the warm-up international ahead of the Oct. 31 Six Nations clash with Wales at Llanelli.
