Captain Kelly Brown dropped by Scotland

Scott Johnson has dropped his captain Kelly Brown ahead of Scotland‘s clash against England on Saturday.
The Saracens flanker, who is not even on the bench, is replaced by the uncapped Chris Fusaro at openside in one of three changes to the team that lost 28-6 to Ireland on Sunday.
Glasgow Warrior Tommy Seymour comes in for the injured Sean Maitland on the wing while Matt Scott is promoted from the bench and swaps with Duncan Taylor.
Two other amendments on the bench see the experienced hooker Scott Lawson given the nod over Pat MacArthur and Jonny Gray preffered to older brother Richie.
Johnson said: “Chris is picked to do a certain role and we believe there’s an opportunity for him to do it.  England are powerful, they have an edge to their side and are assertive and aggressive.  They will probably consider themselves unlucky last weekend but it’s not always brute force that wins these games.
“I spoke to Tommy (Seymour) in the summer that he needed a point of difference.  One of the things that comes to mind is his aerial skills.  He possesses natural aerial skills from his time in Ireland.  Every time he has gone up in class his skills have transcended.”
“We are all looking forward hugely to Saturday’s match. You want the rivalry that exists. It’s intense and great to be part of.”
