Gregor Brown replaces Jonny Gray in the starting line-up. Scotland need more dynamism and athleticism in the second-row and Brown, making his first Six Nations start, has a chance of providing it. Jack Dempsey is out with a hamstring injury, which is a blow. Dempsey has the dog needed in such a massive Test and was terrific against Wales.

Scotland have made two changes to their pack by bringing in Gregor Brown and Matt Fagerson to face title-chasing France in the last game of this year’s Six Nations in Paris on Saturday.

Gregor Brown will make his first Six Nations start for Scotland after the Glasgow lock was included for their tournament finale at leaders France on Saturday. Scotland, who've never finished higher than third in the Six Nations era -- their last title came in the final edition of the old Five Nations in 1999 -- are currently fourth and effectively out of championship contention once again.
