The Gray brothers have been paired together in Scotland's second-row for the Test against Argentina at Murrayfield on Saturday.

Jonny Gray, 20, will be lining up in his sixth Test for Scotland while Richie, 25, will win his 40th cap. Scotland boss Vern Cotter has also handed centre Mark Bennett his debut in the centres while Adam Ashe will win his second cap at No.8.

"We've been studying these players since the start of the season and have selected a group we believe can do the job in this Saturday's Test match against Argentina," Cotter said. "We have several performance-related themes, and have looked for people who have the ability to control games, take initiative, can pick up the ball and run with it, who like physical confrontation and can keep the ball alive.

"These are things that we have prioritised in our selection and we're now all looking forward to getting out there and putting in a good performance in front of the Scottish people on Saturday."

Regarding Bennett, Cotter said: "I really appreciate what Mark has done because he has been very patient and has been developing his performances week in, week out for Glasgow Warriors. Patience and working hard is what you want from your players.

"You can see his determination in the way he breaks the line and scores tries. I'm really pleased he's developed that over the last couple of years and will now make his debut for his country, which is a very special achievement."
