Edinburgh-bound centre Alex Grove is one of seven players recalled to the Scotland side for Tuesday's non-cap international against Japan Select.

Grove, who has agreed to join Edinburgh on loan next season after his club Worcester were relegated from the Guinness Premiership, is selected alongside Nick De Luca.

Head coach Andy Robinsons has chopped and changed his side from the one which finished the memorable RBS 6 Nations victory against Ireland.

Captain Chris Cusiter and Dan Parks are rested and have been replaced by co-skipper Mike Blair and Phil Godman.
Wing Simon Danielli is also recalled, as are Warriors trio Moray Low (prop), Richie Gray (lock) and Richie Vernon (flanker).

Scotland team to play Japan A in non-cap international at Murrayfield tomorrow (kick-off 7pm): H Southwell (Stade Francais); S Lamont (Scarlets), N De Luca (Edinburgh), A Grove (Worcester), S Danielli (Ulster); P Godman (Edinburgh), M Blair (Edinburgh, capt); A Jacobsen (Edinburgh), R Ford (Edinburgh), M Low (Glasgow), R Gray (Glasgow), J Hamilton (Edinburgh), R Vernon (Glasgow), K Brown (Glasgow), J Beattie (Glasgow).

Replacements: F Thompson (Glasgow), G Cross (Edinburgh), S MacLeod (Edinburgh), J Barclay (Glasgow), M McMillan (Glasgow), M Evans (Glasgow), J Thompson (Edinburgh).
