RugbyU: Georgia alter back division for Scotland

EDINBURGH: Georgia have made three changes to their back division for Saturday's international against Scotland in Kilmarnock.

Following last week's 20-16 win at home to Samoa, Giorgi Aptsiauri has been promoted from the bench and comes onto the right wing.

Tamaz Mtchedlidze moves from right wing to inside centre, with Merab Sharikadze switching to outside centre.
