Scotland duo Sean Maitland, Tommy Seymour return for France clash

Sean Maitland and Tommy Seymour have both been recalled for Scotland's Rugby World Cup warm-up clash with France in Paris on Saturday.

The pair have missed the team's summer schedule due to shoulder and back injuries respectively.

Vern Cotter has made three further changes following last weekend's 48-7 win over Italy, with Matt Scott, John Hardie and Richie Gray also coming in.

"We were pleased with a number of aspects of our performance against Italy but feel we still have a lot of work to get through before we begin the Rugby World Cup," said Cotter.

"France are a very powerful and skilful side so this match will provide another good assessment for this group, and another valuable insight into where we are at as a squad."
