Guirado returns to lead France against Scotland

TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT: France head coach Jacques Brunel has made four changes to his team for their second World Cup warm-up match with Scotland in Edinburgh on Saturday.

France smashed Scotland 32-3 in their opening warm-up encounter in Nice last weekend.
