Exeter Chiefs star Stuart Hogg is one of six changes Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend has made to his starting line-up for this Saturday’s Autumn Nations Series game against Fiji at BT Murrayfield (1pm).

Hogg and club-mate, Jonny Gray, both missed last weekend's narrow loss at home to Australia, but the former captain returns at full-back with Gray named amongst the replacement.

Also returning to the fold are Gloucester duo Adam Hastings at fly-half and Chris Harris, who teams up in a new midfield pairing alongside Cameron Redpath, who is set to earn a first cap at BT Murrayfield.

The pack has two changes with Richie Gray returning to the international fold for a first start since 2017 and George Turner coming in at hooker.
