Wales: G Thomas (capt); M Jones, Luscombe, Watkins, S Williams; S Jones, Peel; D Jones, R Thomas, Adam R Jones, Gough, Sidoli, Charvis, M Williams, Owen.
Replacements: M Davies, G Jenkins, Adam M Jones, Delve, Phillips, Robinson, Byrne.

Zippy on Wales:
- Mike Ruddock stuck with selection - brave decision
- Need to batter close to the rucks to create space out wide
- Last chance for several players - Owen, Sid
- Who will stay in the side when Henson returns - MJ or Luscombe?

Scotland: Southwell; Paterson, MacDougall, Henderson, Lamont; Parks, Blair; Kerr, Lawson, Douglas, Kellock, Murray, White (capt), Hogg, Taylor.
Replacements: Ford, Smith, MacLeod, Petrie, Cusiter, Ross, Webster.

Zippy on Scotland:
- Combative pack
- Superb back row and 9
- Good back 3
- Some very average players, front row, 10 and centres in particular

Conclusion:
Wales by 10, it won't be pretty but the W counts
