White returns for Scotland

New Gloucester signing Paterson moves from the wing after convincing head coach Frank Hadden of his ability to play at number 10, the position he is expected to fill at Kingsholm.
White returns at blindside flanker having missed the entire RBS 6 Nations Championship due to the serious knee ligament injury he sustained against Romania last autumn.
Mike Blair also missed the Six Nations with a shoulder injury but is back in favour and features at scrum-half.
Hadden said: "Inevitably, much will be read into this selection given the proximity to the World Cup and the trimming of our squad next Tuesday to the final 30 who will be on duty for the tournament.
"But what's uppermost in my mind, as ever, is picking a team to win an international match as we look to generate momentum going into the World Cup.
"At the beginning of the last Six Nations campaign we said Chris Paterson was not ready to start at stand-off. At the end of the Six Nations we said he was probably ready to start, so let's have a look at him there."
