Scotland unchanged for Wales clash
Scotland coach Andy Robinson on Wednesday named an unchanged starting line-up for his team's Six Nations clash against Wales at Murrayfield this weekend.
Robinson has kept faith with the side beaten 34-21 by France in Paris on Saturday as the Scots look to build on an encouraging performance against the Welsh in Edinburgh.
Although dismayed by defeat in Paris, Scotland ran in three tries against the Grand Slam champions at the Stade de France.
"We were disappointed as players and management that we did not start the championship with a win against France. We are determined to put that right with an improved performance against Wales," Robinson said.
Wales suffered a 26-19 defeat to England at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium last Friday.
Robinson added: "Wales showed again last weekend that they are combative and skilful and play for the full 80 minutes and we know we have to be more accurate and ruthless this weekend."
The only change to Scotland's matchday 22 comes on the replacements bench, where hooker Scott Lawson comes in for Dougie Hall.
The match will also mark the first time captain Alastair Kellock has led Scotland out at Murrayfield, where Scottish rugby's patron, Princess Anne, will be in attendance.
Scotland (15 to 1)
Hugo Southwell; Nikki Walker, Joe Ansbro, Nick De Luca, Max Evans; Dan Parks, Rory Lawson; John Barclay, Kelly Brown, Nathan Hines; Alastair Kellock, Richie Gray; Euan Murray, Ross Ford, Allan Jacobsen
Replacements: Mike Blair, Richie Vernon, Sean Lamont, Ross Rennie, Ruaridh Jackson, Moray Low, Scott Lawson
