RUGBY UNION: British and Irish Lion Blair Kinghorn has been dropped for Scotland's Six Nations opener against Italy tomorrow with Tom Jordan taking his place.

Scotland will open their Six Nations campaign with a return to Rome for the first time since their disappointing defeat there in March 2024 and will be looking for a strong start to build on their fourth-placed finish last year.
Jordan has earned a starting berth at fullback, with Kinghorn (right) dropped from the matchday squad by head coach Gregor Townsend.
