(Reuters) – Kyle Steyn will replace injured wing Darcy Graham in the Scotland team to play Georgia in their final Rugby World Cup warm-up fixture at Murrayfield on Saturday.
Graham, who withdrew because of a mild quad strain, was rested for the 30-27 defeat against France in Scotland’s previous fixture on Aug. 12 but was due to return against Georgia and push for a starting place in coach Gregor Townsend’s team to play South Africa in their World Cup opener in Marseille on Sept. 10.
Scotland also face Ireland, Romania and Tonga in Pool B.
