Jamie Ritchie has declared himself fit and ready to lead Scotland into the Rugby World Cup after shaking off his recent calf issue.

The captain sat out the previous two warm-up matches at home to Italy and France as a precaution after what he described as "a little niggle" but he returns to the starting XV for this Saturday night's rematch with Les Bleus in the heat of Saint-Etienne.
