ONLY two Scots have been selected in the British and Irish Lions squad for this summer's tour of New Zealand.
Glasgow Warriors pair Stuart Hogg and Tommy Seymour were the only Scottish representatives to be named in Warren Gatland's squad at the announcement on Wednesday.
Scotland won all three of their home games against Ireland, Wales and Italy at this year's Six Nations but were narrowly beaten in France and suffered a thrashing at the hands of England at Twickenham.
Vern Cotter's side finished in fourth place in the table and only behind Ireland and France on points difference.
Sam Warburton has been named captain for the second tour in a row after leading the Lions to a series win over Australia in 2013.
Warren Gatland's side will face the All Blacks in a three-match Test series in June and July after a series of warm-up games that begin on June 3.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
