Scotland's top two try-scorers of all time -- Duhan van der Merwe and Darcy Graham -- plus British and Irish Lions full-back Blair Kinghorn have all been left out by Gregor Townsend for his side's Six Nations opener away to Italy on Saturday.
Bristol's Tom Jordan starts at full-back, flanked by Glasgow Warriors wingers Kyle Steyn and Jamie Dobie for the match in Rome.
Van der Merwe and Kinghorn fail to even make the bench with Graham, Adam Hastings and George Horne the backs cover among the replacements.
Steyn and Dobie are two of nine Glasgow players in the starting 15 as a reward for their fine form.
Franco Smith's side lead the United Rugby Championship and have defeated Toulouse and Saracens over the past month to make a perfect start in the Champions Cup.
