Robbo relishing Hogg bow

The 19-year-old Glasgow Warriors full-back has been named in a Scotland team showing four changes from the one which lost 27-13 to Wales last time out.

Hogg, who made his debut in Cardiff, is set to make his first Test start, while there were recalls for flanker John Barclay, scrum-half Mike Blair and centre Graeme Morrison.

In addition, there were two further positional switches - Sean Lamont moving to outside centre and Rory Lamont to the wing.

Promotion

Hogg excelled after coming off the replacements' bench during the first half for Max Evans - still missing due to an ankle problem - and won his second cap on merit after impressing Robinson.

The head coach said: "His composure has been great, the way that he's been able to handle the whole Test arena and his ambition to play as well."

Hogg is from Hawick in the Scottish Borders and has made a meteoric rise to the international ranks since making his Glasgow debut in February 2011.

After establishing himself in the Warriors team while the senior squad members were at the Rugby World Cup, Hogg retained his place for the Heineken Cup games and was rewarded for his showing with a Scotland A call-up.

Hogg scored a scintillating try from his own half in the 35-0 win over England Saxons, earning him a place on the bench in Cardiff - and his performance at the Millennium Stadium has led to another promotion.

Robinson hopes Hogg can play in the same manner against World Cup finalists France, a team Scotland have beaten once in Six Nations competition, and praised the teenager's attitude.

"He's got freedom to play," Robinson added.

"He's an individual. His character is great. The more the pressure, the more he wants to put himself up there."

Crucial

Key to Sunday's match - as Scotland look to claim a first win over France since 2006 and a first victory of the 2012 tournament - is maintaining their expansive approach and involving the likes of Hogg in the game, according to Robinson.

Robinson has been happy with the way his side have approached the losses to England and Wales, where individuals were culpable of errors at crucial times which led to chastening defeats.

Robinson added: "The way we've tried to play is with the ball in hand and it's because I believe that's the best way we can achieve victories.

"Where we've struggled is we're being punished for errors that we've made. We've lost the games because of those errors.

"Those are individual errors, they're not structural issues."
