Southwell given chance at full-back

Scotland head coach Frank Hadden has handed Hugo Southwell the number 15 jersey for the Bank of Scotland Corporate Autumn Test against New Zealand on Saturday.

The Edinburgh Gunners full-back will replace professional club-mate Chris Paterson, who moves to the wing for the visit of the All Blacks.

Rory Lamont has been ruled out after suffering a head injury in the 18-11 win over Samoa on Sunday, prompting Paterson’s switch.

Props Gavin Kerr and Bruce Douglas return to the starting XV to replace Allan Jacobsen and Craig Smith at loose-head and tight-head respectively.

Edinburgh’s winger Simon Webster has earned a place on the bench for the first time in the November series.
