Houston gets sevens call
The team also includes James Johnstone, the Currie centre, while Colin Gregor resumes his role as captain. James Fleming, who currently leads the 2012/13 HSBC Sevens World Series try table with eight, will also travel.
Head coach Phil Greening said: “We appreciate the opportunity to work with Edinburgh Rugby and bring a experienced and very physical sevens player into our squad. James [Johnstone] also has a lot of talent and we believe him being back in the international sevens environment will be good for his development as a player. Thank-you to both pro-clubs for their support.”
