WORCESTER Warriors' Ben Hinshelwood will not line-up against Australia next month despite being named in the Scotland squad.
The centre has been selected in the squad for the match on Saturday, November 6, but Warriors director of rugby John Brain has already confirmed to Scotland coach Matt Williams that Hinshelwood will not be available.
Normally, players have to join up if selected for internationals but because the Australia fixture was an addition to the calendar it does not fall under International Rugby Board rules.
Therefore Hinshelwood will be available for Worcester's Premiership match against London Irish 24 hours later.
Scotland also playb South Africa and Japan.
