Scots confident for Wales

may be asking too much, an improved performance at the Millennium Stadium is crucial to avoid questions being asked about whether the Robinson revolution has made any real difference at all.

Hinting at changes to come, Robinson added 12 players to yesterday's 22-man squad on Monday afternoon.

Fit-again co-captain Mike Blair, Murray, Parks, Jackson, Nick De Luca, Jim Hamilton, Dougie Hall, Simon Danielli and Rory Lamont were already part of the Scotland camp.

They have now been joined by Ben Cairns, Scott Gray and Nikki Walker, who missed out on the original selection.

Scotland was also monitoring bruising suffered by Beattie (hip), Morrison (leg), Paterson (calf), Thom Evans (calf) and Nathan Hines (calf), and a shoulder strain to Kelly Brown.
