Gilchrist to earn first Scotland cap

Edinburgh lock Grant Gilchrist will make his Scotland debut in their final RBS 6 Nations clash against France at Paris on Saturday.

Gilchrist is set to win his first cap and comes in for the injured Richie Gray as the Scots bid to snatch a second-place finish and condemn Les Bleus, who are yet to win in this year's competition, to the wooden spoon.

The only other change to the side that was defeated 28-18 by Wales at Murrayfield last weekend sees the experienced Alasdair Strokosch replace Rob Harley at blindside flanker.
