Harry Paterson (22) will make his senior international debut at full-back after Scotland were forced into a late change to their starting lineup ahead of Saturday’s Six Nations clash with France at Murrayfield.

Wing Kyle Steyn (30) has dropped out of the team with his wife in labour and due to give birth.

That has necessitated a move from full-back to wing for Kyle Rowe (30), with Paterson taking the latter's place in the side.

Paterson is a former junior international and has also played rugby sevens for the Scots.

The match in Edinburgh will kick off at 15:15 CET.

15-Harry Paterson, 14-Kyle Rowe, 13-Huw Jones, 12-Sione Tuipulotu, 11-Duhan van der Merwe, 10-Finn Russell (co-captain), 9-Ben White; 1-Pierre Schoeman, 2-George Turner, 3-Zander Fagerson, 4-Grant Gilchrist, 5-Scott Cummings, 6-Matt Fagerson, 7-Rory Darge (co-captain), 8-Jack Dempsey
