EDINBURGH (Reuters) - Blair Kinghorn will start at flyhalf and Ollie Smith has been selected at fullback in four changes made by Scotland coach Gregor Townsend for their final Six Nations fixture against Italy at Murrayfield on Saturday.

Kinghorn gets the nod ahead of uncapped Ireland-born number 10 Ben Healy as Townsend fills the gap left by the injured Finn Russell. Healy is on the bench.
