Glasgow Warriors lock Richie Gray has been handed the captain's armband for tomorrow's crunch IRB TOSHIBA Junior World Championship match against England in Tokyo (Tuesday 9 June, kick-off 9am BST).
 
Meanwhile, hooker Finlay Gillies replaces Fraser Brown in the front-row – the latter is affected by a shoulder knock – while Robbie McGowan, match-winner for the under-20s against their Italian counterparts during the shadow Six Nations earlier this year, is enlisted for Andrew White, who also has a shoulder injury.

The Scots will be eager to bounce back from their opening match 17-14 defeat at the hands of Samoa, whereas England opened with a 43-0 success against hosts Japan.

New Warriors signing, Peter Horne, retains his place at fullback.

London Scot, Ryan Wilson, who was involved in the training match against Ireland prior to departure for Japan, will start in the Scots’ back-row, while on the bench Grant Shiells and Steven Aitken are both called up.
