Autumn Internationals: Brothers Richie and Jonny Gray will line up at second row for Scotland against Argentina

Scotland head coach Vern Cotter has named brothers Richie and Jonny Gray alongside each other in the second row of the team to face Argentina at Murrayfield on Saturday.

Jonny, 20, will make his second start and win his sixth cap overall while his 25-year-old brother Richie will earn his 40th Scotland cap.

The younger brother is not the only promising up-and-coming player to be given a chance to impress as centre Mark Bennett will make his debut while his fellow 21-year-old Adam Ashe is set to appear for the second time at No 8.

We've been studying these players since the start of the season and have selected a group we believe can do the job on Saturday.

Flankers Rob Harley and Blair Cowan will link up with Ashe in a new-look back-row combination.

But it is a different story in the front row where the experienced trio of Alasdair Dickinson, Ross Ford and Euan Murray, who share a total of 173 caps, will pack down together.

Other than captain and scrum-half Greig Laidlaw, the backs all come from Glasgow Warriors.

Finn Russell will be at fly-half, Alex Dunbar will partner Bennett in midfield, and Stuart Hogg, Sean Maitland and Tommy Seymour will form a potentially explosive back three.

Head coach Cotter said: “We've been studying these players since the start of the season and have selected a group we believe can do the job in this Saturday's Test match against Argentina.

Prioritised

"We have looked for people who have the ability to control games, take initiative, can pick up the ball and run with it, and who like physical confrontation and can keep the ball alive.

"These are things that we have prioritised in our selection and we're now all looking forward to getting out there and putting in a good performance in front of the Scottish people on Saturday."
