Hadden urges Paterson to be perfect 10 for Scots after switch

FRANK HADDEN has challenged Chris Paterson to prove he deserves to be Scotland’s World Cup stand-off when the former stand-in captain lines up against Ireland on Saturday.

Gloucester’s recent recruit from Edinburgh passes the armband to fit-again skipper Jason White, who plays his first Scotland match of the year, for the Murrayfield clash.

And Paterson’s positional change is perhaps Hadden’s most important experiment as far as Scotland’s World Cup prospects are concerned.
