Scotland tour captain misses out

6:25 pm on 22 September 2011

Halfback Rory Lawson has retained the Scotland captaincy for Sunday's World Cup Pool B match against Argentina in Wellington, with tour captain Alastair Kellock left out of the line-up.

Coach Andy Robinson has made five changes to the side that beat Georgia, full-back Chris Paterson replacing Rory Lamont.

First five Dan Parks makes way for Ruaridh (roo-ree) Jackson and John Barclay comes in for Ross Rennie at open-side.

Geoff Cross replaces Euan Murray at tight-head and lock Richie Gray takes over from Jim Hamilton.

Robinson says he's picked a team to beat Argentina - the selection is simply about this match and they must view it as another match, while affording our opponents the respect they deserve.
