Ben Healy has been given the reins in the iconic Scottish #10 jersey, starting at fly-half against Chile this coming Saturday 20 July at Estadio Nacional in Santiago, kick-off 8pm (BST).

Healy featured from the bench against Canada earlier in the Skyscanner Americas tour, and is given a chance from the start in Santiago.

The capital fly-half starts alongside fellow club-mate Jamie Ritchie, who will co-captain a week on from making his 50th appearance for his country.

Academy product Paddy Harrison is in line for his Scotland debut, named as replacement hooker along with Edinburgh props Javan Sebastian and Pierre Schoeman.

The matchday 23 is completed by Matt Currie, who could feature for the third time in as many games.
