It’s a glorious day in Edinburgh as the teams head out of the tunnel and onto the sun dappled grass. The formalities will be completed and then we’ll have a game to take in.

Team news
Gregor Townsend makes five changes to the side that squeaked past Wales, opting for a full overhaul of the front row and a reshuffle in the pack. Pierre Schoeman, George Turner, and D’Arcy Rae all step into the starting front row, replacing Nathan McBeth, Dave Cherry, and Zander Fagerson. In the back row, Jack Dempsey is fixed from injury and returns at number eight, prompting Matt Fagerson to shift to blindside flanker and Gregor Brown to move into the boilerhouse alongside Scott Cummings. It’s as you were in the backline.
