6N: France v Scotland: two changes to visiting XV as Jack Dempsey drops out squad
Today at 07:03 AM
GREGOR BROWN and Matt Fagerson have been added to Scotland’s starting XV for Saturday night’s Six Nations finale against France in Paris, in the second-row and at No 8 respectively, with Jonny Gray dropping to the bench and Jack Dempsey out of the squad altogether due to a hamstring injury.
Meanwhile, Edinburgh second-row Marshall Sykes and his back-row club-mate Ben Muncaster are in line for their Six Nations debuts after being added to the bench.
Head coach Gregor Townsend has opted for a six-two split for his replacements, meaning Kyle Rowe drops out of the 23, and Jamie Dobie takes over from George Horne as scrum-half cover.
