Scotland head coach Scott Johnson has delayed naming his side to face Wales because of injury concerns to Tommy Seymour and Max Evans. He has named 13 backs in the squad but will wait until Thursday before finalising the starting XV.

The only change in the pack sees Ryan Wilson restored to the back-row for the injured Johnnie Beattie.

"We're obviously already without Sean Lamont in the backs after the knee problem he picked up against France," said Johnson. "We've also got some concerns about our wingers, and we're going to wait until tomorrow to see how they are."
