Scotland: Kyle Steyn replaces Darcy Graham for final World Cup warm-up
Written by I Dig SportsKyle Steyn has replaced Darcy Graham in Scotland's starting line-up to face Georgia on Saturday after the wing picked up an injury in training.
Scottish Rugby says the Edinburgh 26-year-old has been "ruled out due to a mild strain to his quad".
Steyn originally had not even been on the bench for the match at Murrayfield.
Now the South Africa-born Glasgow Warriors 29-year-old will earn his 13th cap in Scotland's final warm-up game before the World Cup finals.
Steyn had started Scotland's 30-27 defeat by France two weeks ago and scored two tries in that 30-27 reverse in St Etienne.
But the in-form Graham had been due to return for his 36th cap as one of six changes made by head coach Gregor Townsend from that starting XV.
Georgia head coach Levan Maisashvili has made six changes to his side that thumped Romania 56-6 on the same day.
Hooker Shalva Mamukashvili, who plays for Black Lion in his homeland, comes in to earn his 100th cap.
The other five changes feature players currently operating in the French top flight - Toulon prop Beka Gigashvili, Bayonne lock Konstantin Mikautadze, Biarritz number eight Tornike Jalaghonia, Brive scrum-half Vasil Lobzhanidze and 21-year-old Lyon wing Davit Niniashvili.
The latter will start at full-back, with Miriani Modebadze moving to centre.
Scotland open their World Cup campaign against South Africa on 10 September, the day after Georgia take on Australia.
