Stuart Hogg
Stuart Hogg saw a first Scotland try ruled out for a knock-on against Wales
Robinson gives teenager Hogg the nod to face France

Andy Robinson admits he couldn't hold Stuart Hogg back any longer after rewarding the teenage full-back for his impressive display off the bench against Wales with his first RBS 6 Nations start against France.
 

Hogg, 19, delivered an eye-catching display against England Saxons before backing up his claims for a first senior start by impressing off the bench at the Millennium Stadium, where he was unfortunate to see a try disallowed.

Hogg is joined in Robinson’s starting XV by Glasgow team-mates Graeme Morrison and John Barclay as Scotland seek their first win of this season’s competition following defeats to England and Wales.

A fourth change sees Mike Blair selected ahead of Chris Cusiter at scrum-half but there is no place for fly-half Ruaridh Jackson, who has recovered from a hamstring injury, with Greig Laidlaw retaining the No.10 shirt and Duncan Weir on the bench.

Rory Lamont moves to the right wing with brother Sean moving out one to accommodate Morrison in midfield, while Richie Vernon is named on the bench – his first involvement since the World Cup.

“Stuart Hogg did well off the bench in Cardiff, stood out in the A team victory over England Saxons and has been one of Glasgow’s most consistent performers this season,” said Robinson.

“He fully deserves his first start. Graeme Morrison has worked hard back at Glasgow and captained the team in their games against Scarlets and Connacht. 

“He is a good ball carrier and has something to prove on his return to the Scotland team.”
