Fit again scrum half Andy Nicol has regained the Scottish captaincy for the Six Nations opener against France.

Pountney is named as vice captain of a squad which sees three other players return to the test arena - James McLaren, Martin Leslie and Mattie Stewart - all of who missed the three autumn tests.
