The Scarlets forward will earn his 46th cap at blindside in a back row that also contains openside John Hardie and No 8 David Denton. Mark Bennett has recovered from his shoulder injury and plays in a side which contains just two changes from the one that started against Australia in the Rugby World Cup quarter-final, with Matt Scott partnering the Glasgow centre in midfield. Barclay was brought back into the World Cup training camp and featured in the warm-up Tests but failed to make coach Vern Cotter’s final 31-man squad. Young Glasgow tighthead prop Zander Fagerson could win his first cap after being named on the bench.
