It’s the second week in a row that the sides have met and it was the Scots who got the better of the World Cup hosts in Edinburgh in the first match. Gregor Townsend’s side trailed 21-3 at half-time at Murrayfield but came back strongly, scoring three second-half tries to win 25-21. France fielded an experimental side last Saturday but have brought back their big guns for the rematch, making 13 changes to their starting side. They have picked completely new back line which includes captain Antoine Dupont and stand-off Romain Ntamack. The match is part of the Summer Nations Series, the umbrella name given to the World Cup warm-up matches played by the leading nations. Scotland opened the series by defeating Italy 25-13 then followed it up with the home win over France.

France have made 13 changes and Scotland have made six of their own, two of which are enforced. Zander Fagerson, the tighthead prop, is suspended after being sent off in the win over France last weekend. His place is taken by WP Nel. Ben White injured his ankle in the French game and misses the rematch, with Ali Price taking over at scrum-half. Townsend is confident White will be fit for the World Cup. The four other changes made by the coach include two in the back row, with Rory Darge replacing Hamish Watson at openside flanker and captain Jamie Ritchie coming in for Matt Fagerson at blindside. Elsewhere, George Turner is selected at hooker, taking over from Ewan Ashman, and Kyle Steyn is picked on the right wing in place of the rested Darcy Graham.
