Gregor Townsend has made six changes for Scotland's final World Cup warm-up against Georgia on Saturday.

Ollie Smith replaces Blair Kinghorn at full-back, Darcy Graham takes over from Kyle Steyn on the wing and Ben White is in for Ali Price at scrum-half.

Jamie Bhatti and Dave Cherry replace Pierre Schoeman and George Turner in the front row and Sam Skinner replaces Richie Gray at lock.

Ewan Ashman, Chris Harris, Ben Healy and Matt Fagerson come on to the bench.

Scotland beat Italy and France in Edinburgh earlier in their summer series.

They will open their World Cup Pool B campaign against defending champions South Africa on 10 September in Marseille.

Townsend's side will also face Tonga, Romania and familiar foes Ireland in France. Levan Maisashvili's Georgia are in Pool C with Australia, Fiji, Portugal and Wales.

The Scots failed to get out of their pool in Japan four years ago.

Scotland: Ollie Smith, Darcy Graham, Huw Jones, Sione Tuipulotu, Duhan van der Merwe, Finn Russell, Ben White; Jamie Bhatti, Dave Cherry, WP Nel, Sam Skinner, Grant Gilchrist, Jamie Ritchie (capt), Rory Darge, Jack Dempsey.

Replacements: Ewan Ashman, Rory Sutherland, Javan Sebastian, Scott Cummings, Matt Fagerson, George Horne, Ben Healy, Chris Harris.
