Taylor, 28, will make his first appearance since the World Cup quarter-final defeat to Argentina after recovering from a hand injury.

The exclusion of Murray from the matchday 22 comes as a surprise after the experienced lock was called up to the squad on Monday.

Taylor replaces Kelly Brown, who drops to the bench, and Hadden has made just one further change, with Graeme Morrison taking the place of Glasgow Warriors team-mate Andy Henderson at inside centre.

Head coach Hadden said: "Simon Taylor has played well in the three games for his club since recovering from a hand injury and he is now ready to return to the national side.

"Graeme Morrison is being rewarded for his outstanding performances for the Scotland A team away in Italy and then against Ireland A at Perth."

Scrum-half Mike Blair will lead the side, but regular skipper Jason White should be involved at some stage.
