Scotland A assistant coach Stevie Scott feels that if his forward pack can perform effectively against the Argentina Jaguars this afternoon then Scotland could record a first win at the IRB Nations Cup in Romania.

Scott said: "I think it's important, as in any game, that we must win the battle up front and we believe we've got the team to do that."

Scotland have made three changes to the team that lost to Namibia on Tuesday with eight further positional switches.

Greig Laidlaw is the only personnel change in the backs as he returns at scrum-half. Mark Robertson moves from the left wing to the right. Bryan Rennie moves from inside centre to the left wing. Rennie's place in the midfield is taken by John Houston.

In the forwards, Kyle Traynor and Fergus Thomson return to the front row to partner Bruce Douglas. Locks James Eddie and Fraser McKenzie swap places in the second row whilst Roddy Grant and captain Ally Hogg also swap jerseys in the back row to switch to blindside flanker and No.8 respectively.

Scotland A (v Argentina Jaguars): J Cuthbert (Bath); M Robertson (Edinburgh), B Cairns (Edinburgh), J Houston (Edinburgh), B Rennie (Exeter Chiefs); D Blair (Edinburgh), G Laidlaw (Edinburgh); K Traynor (Edinburgh), F Thomson (Glasgow Warriors), B Douglas (Montpellier), J Eddie (Glasgow Warriors), F McKenzie (Edinburgh), R Grant (Edinburgh), C Fusaro (Heriot's), A Hogg (Edinburgh; capt).
