Scrum-half Jamie Dobie, tighthead prop Murphy Walker and back-row Josh Bayliss are the other three players who have been released from the squad.
The omission of the latter trio was not a major surprise given they have only accumulated 10 caps between them so far.First-choice number nine Ben White is in the squad, indicating that he has been given the all-clear after seeing a specialist this week about the ankle injury that forced him off against France a week past Saturday.
Eighteen members of the squad will be going to their first World Cup, with 23-year-old full-back Ollie Smith the youngest while new Edinburgh stand-off Ben Healy is the least capped with two. The six back-row options are comprised of captain Jamie Ritchie, Rory Darge, Hamish Watson, Matt Fagerson, Luke Crosbie and Jack Dempsey, who represented Australia at the last World Cup.
Russell and Healy are the two stand-off options while Blair Kinghorn, who can also deputise at 10, and Smith are the full-backs and Darcy Graham, Duhan van der Merwe and Kyle Steyn make up an exciting wing trio.
