Controversial Scotland call-up John Hardie will be given the chance to justify his selection after being named in the side which faces France in Paris on Saturday.
The New Zealand-born flanker landed a shock place in Vern Cotter's 31-man squad for the World Cup in England at the expense of in-form duo Blair Cowan and John Barclay.
The 27-year-old - who qualifies for the Dark Blues thanks to his Fife-born grandparents - only touched down on Scottish soil for the first time five weeks ago and has less than an hour of international Test action under his belt.
