Scotland have made five personnel changes and one positional switch for Friday's final tour match against Samoa at Eden Park, Auckland (09:05 BST).

Kyle Steyn moves from left to right wing as Arron Reed comes in at 11 while Rory Hutchinson and Stafford McDowall make up a new centre partnership.

In the pack, Gregor Brown comes into the second row and Andy Onyeama-Christie takes over at blindside flanker.

Fin Richardson is a potential debutant off the bench, with experienced half-backs George Horne and Adam Hastings also listed as replacements.

Darcy Graham was red-carded in Saturday's loss to Fiji and has since been summoned to join up with the British and Irish Lions, while Tom Jordan and Jamie Ritchie were already ruled out of Friday's Test. Lock Marshall Sykes drops to the bench as Cameron Redpath misses out.

Loose-head prop Rory Sutherland and hooker Ewan Ashman will join up with the Lions squad touring Australia after featuring against Samoa.

Gregor Townsend's Scots beat Maori All Blacks 29-26 in Whangarei before last weekend's 29-14 defeat in Suva.
