And as a result the starting teamsheet shows 14 changes from the Ireland clash with Morrison retaining his slot at inside centre.

Mike Blair and Dan Parks bring 132 caps of experience between them into the half-back pairing while Simon Danielli and Max Evans come in on the wings with Rory Lamont at full-back.

In the pack Alasdair Dickinson, Scott Lawson and Moray Low are all given their chance to impress in the front row with Nathan Hines and captain Alastair Kellock packing down behind them.

And the back row sees two of the three Bs reunited in Kelly Brown and John Barclay with Richie Vernon rounding out the pack at No.8.
