A 6-2 bench for Scotland...

Ewan Ashman returns after injury to cover hooker, with Dave Cherry dropping out after starting the game in Cardiff.

Rory Sutherland is chosen as a replacement prop along with Zander Fagerson as Grant Gilchrist and Josh Bayliss complete the forward options on, along with Douglas.

The two? Scrum-half George Horne and the versatile Tom Jordan.

On the bench, 20-year-old Edinburgh flanker Freddy Douglas is in line for his second cap, having become the youngest Scotland international in more than 60 years when debuting against Portugal in November 2024.

Darcy Graham, who tied the all-time Scotland try record at 35 against Wales, gets nod on the right wing after three appearances from the bench.

Kyle Steyn, who also touched down in Cardiff, switches to the left and Blair Kinghorn stays at full-back.

Jack Dempsey has recovered from a bicep injury sustained in the win against England last month and he is back to anchor the pack at number 8.

Matt Fagerson switches to blindside flanker, with Gregor Brown moving into the second row to accommodate Dempsey.

There are five Scotland changes from the narrow win over Wales, with a new-look front row.

Loosehead prop Pierre Schoeman and hooker George Turner, both substitutes in Cardiff, are in from the start, with tighthead D’arcy Rae making his first appearance of this year’s championship.

That means Zander Fagerson is among the replacements.

It breaks a run of 17 successive Six Nations starts for Fagerson.

Scotland: Kinghorn, Graham, Jones, Tuipulotu (capt), Steyn, Russell, White; Schoeman, Turner, Rae, Brown, Cummings, M Fagerson, Darge, Dempsey.

Replacements: Ashman, Sutherland, Z Fagerson, Gilchrist, Douglas, Bayliss, Horne, Jordan.

Scotland host Six Nations champions France on Saturday and head coach Gregor Towsend has made a few big calls for a daunting task.

The headlines are the return of Jack Dempsey and Zander Fagerson losing his starting place, while Darcy Graham is reinstated.
