Three uncapped players in side to face France
Warrington's Ben Hellewell has been called into the Scotland squad for their European Championship clash with France on Saturday.
The former Bradford full-back is one of three uncapped men in coach Steve McCormack's 18-man squad for the Perpignan clash.
The others are Edinburgh Eagles' Nick Broere and Jordan Rice.
The Scots, who beat Ireland 26-6 in their opening match in Glasgow, are without props Jack Howieson, whose wife is due to give birth, and Jack Stearman, who has a dislocated elbow, but veteran Neil Lowe has recovered from a knee injury.
France coach Bobbie Goulding makes three changes to the side that lost 32-18 to England in Avignon a week ago, with Catalan Dragons forwards Gregory Mounis, Sebastien Raguin and David Ferriol missing through injury.
Hooker Kane Bentley returns from injury, there is a recall for scrum-half Maxime Greseque and Goulding is set to give a debut to Dragons reserve player Julian Bousquet.
