Scotland team to face France for Round 2 of the 6 Nations

Scotland team to face France for Round 2 of the 6 Nations

Full-back Stuart Hogg will become the youngest player in history to reach a half century of Scotland caps, in a side that features one change to face France in Paris this Sunday in the RBS 6 Nations.

 

At 24 years and 233 days old come kick-off, Hogg will overtake previous record-holder Richie Gray, who made his 50th appearance during the 2015 Rugby World Cup, aged 26.

 

Back-row John Barclay is the only change to the starting Scotland side as a straight replacement for Ryan Wilson, who has failed to recover sufficiently from an elbow infection.
