Scotland have named their team to face France at Hive Stadium this Saturday (14:15, BBC) in round two of the Guinness Women's Six Nations.

Bryan Easson's side opened their campaign with a first win against Wales in Cardiff for two decades, and will hope to replicate their thrilling attacking form against a France side who were tested at times against Ireland in Le Mans last weekend.

The starting XV shows only two changes to the line-up that featured against Wales, with Louise McMillan (pictured) in for Sarah Bonar in the second row, and Elis Martin for Lana Skeldon at hooker.
