Visser, Scott and Nel recalled by Scotland
Tim Visser, Matt Scott and the fit-again WP Nel are among six additions to the Scotland squad for its Six Nations match against England on Sunday (AEDT).
Harlequins wing Visser and Gloucester centre Scott has each earned recalls and are in contention to represent its country for the first time since June 2017, while Nel's inclusion comes after the Edinburgh prop proved his fitness after a spell on the sidelines with a broken arm.
Head coach Gregor Townsend has also called up Tim Swinson, who has recovered from a hand injury, Josh Strauss and uncapped Glasgow Warriors hooker James Malcolm.
Duncan Taylor (head) and Richie Gray (calf) are unavailable, while Magnus Bradbury, Nathan Fowles, Murray McCallum and D'Arcy Rae have been left out.
Scotland, which was thumped by Wales in its opening match but bounced back with a home victory over France, face England at Murrayfield on Sunday (AEDT).
Eddie Jones' side will be looking to remain on course for a third successive Six Nations title and a second Grand Slam in three years.
Scotland squad:
Forwards: John Barclay (captain), Simon Berghan, Jamie Bhatti, David Denton, Cornell du Preez, Grant Gilchrist, Jonny Gray, Luke Hamilton, Rob Harley, Scott Lawson, James Malcolm, Stuart McInally, WP Nel, Gordon Reid, Josh Strauss, Tim Swinson, Ben Toolis, Hamish Watson, Jon Welsh, Ryan Wilson.
Backs: Mark Bennett, Nick Grigg, Chris Harris, Stuart Hogg, Pete Horne, Ruaridh Jackson, Huw Jones, Blair Kinghorn, Greig Laidlaw, Sean Maitland, Ali Price, Henry Pyrgos, Finn Russell, Tommy Seymour, Matt Scott, Tim Visser.
