Scotland forced into changes

Scotland have been forced to make changes in their back division for tomorrow’s RBS 6 Nations Championship match against Wales at the Millennium Stadium.

Edinburgh wing Simon Webster has withdrawn due to hamstring pain, which he aggravated during training at Murrayfield this morning. As a result Chris Paterson moves to the wing where he will become Scotland’s most capped back, with Hugo Southwell promoted from the bench to start at fullback. 

Southwell scored one of his eight tries for Scotland on their last visit to Cardiff, Simon Danielli (Ulster) is introduced to the bench.

The revised Scotland team reads:

Scotland:
15. Hugo Southwell (Edinburgh)
14. Nikki Walker (Ospreys)
