The Scotland Rugby Union have announced that they will play Australia, Fiji and Samoa on a four-match tour of the South Pacific in June this year.

In addition, a Scotland XV will play New South Wales Waratahs at the Sydney Football Stadium, Sydney, on Sunday 10 June.

A 32-strong playing party will be named in mid May.

Scotland head coach Andy Robinson said: "This will be a tough, full-on tour and I’ve been pleased with form of many of the contenders for places within both the Edinburgh Rugby and Glasgow Warriors teams over the last few weeks.

"We have seen a fantastic victory by Edinburgh over Toulouse in the Heineken Cup quarter-final and Glasgow remain on course for the play-offs in the , having displayed ruthlessness in their win against Cardiff Blues."

The Scotland match against Australia will be broadcast on TV in the UK.
