Il XV della Scozia che a Murrayfield affronterà la Francia
Scott Johnson ha scelto la formazione che scenderà in campo a Murrayfield contro la Francia, 3 importanti novità nel 15 del Cardo: rientra tra i ranghi e si riprende i gradi di capitano Kelly Brown al posto di Chris Fusaro, partirà da titolare il pilone destro di Edinburgo Geoff Cross e rivedremo a numero 8 David Denton anche grazie alla tonsillite che ha colpito Ryan Wilson qualche giorno fa, il flanker di Glasgow sarà comunque in panchina.
