Grey's Exeter partner Stuart Hogg will lead the team from fullback after breaking Scotland's record for goals against Japan the last time he donned the famous shirt.

Grant Gilchrist joins Gray as a seasoned second-row partner and is now just a hat away from half a century of performing in Scotland.

How Can Stuart Hogg lead Scotland's golden generation to win?

The front row is filled with familiar faces, along with Rory Sutherland, George Turner and Zander Fagerson, who played in all five races last year.

It was the same story in the back when Gregor Townsend was able to call up an experienced team, with Jamie Ritchie paired with Hamish Watson and Matt Fagerson in the eighth.

At the back, Finn Russell and Ali Price have resumed their central defender combination for what will be their fourth game in a row.

They were linked by Sam Johnson and Chris Harris in midfield, with last year's top scorer Duhan van der Merwe on the left, Darcy Graham on the right and captain Hogg completing the back three.

On the substitutions bench, London Irishman Ben White will make his debut, with substitutes Stuart McInally, Sam Skinner, Magnus Bradbury, Pierre Schoeman, WP Nel, Blair Kinghorn and Sione Tuipulotu.

Scotland manager Gregor Townsend said: "We are honoured to play in the oldest international rugby match against our closest rivals on Saturday.
