Buchan given the nod after Bennett injury

Scotland have been forced to make a late change to their starting line-up ahead of the Junior World Championship final-round match against Samoa tomorrow following the withdrawal of former Ayr centre Mark Bennett.

Bennett, based in Clermont, has failed to recover from a knee injury he sustained in Scotland's 34-17 win over Italy on Sunday. He has been replaced by the Keith Buchan, the Boroughmuir centre.

Both Bennett and Buchan will be eligible to play in next year's World Junior Championship, which is being staged in France.
