Scotland were forced into a late change ahead of their rugby international against Argentina at Murrayfield on Sunday when scrumhalf Ben White withdrew because of an unspecified illness.
Jamie Dobie, previously on the bench, came into the starting side to partner Finn Russell at half-back, with experienced Glasgow scrum-half George Horne now providing cover among the replacements.

White's absence was a blow to a Scotland side looking to bounce back from last week's agonising 25-17 Autumn Nations Series loss to New Zealand – a defeat that left the Scots still looking for their first win in 120 years of tests against the All Blacks.
Argentina come into this match on the back of a record 52-28 win over Wales in Cardiff.
