Changes suggest Robinson has a need for speed

Scotland will look to run the legs off France as they bid to overturn the form book and claim their first win of this season's RBS 6 Nations Championship on Sunday.

Andy Robinson outlined his basic gameplan yesterday as he explained the changes that have given his side a much more balanced look to the back-line while injecting additional pace into the back-row.

The ankle injury that ruled out Max Evans reduced the options available to Robinson but presumbably simplified the selection process when it came to reshuffling the back-line since it made it relatively easy to shift Rory and Sean Lamont to the wing and outside centre respectively with Stuart Hogg coming in at full-back.
