Scotland coach Ian McGeechan today named an unchanged squad for the closing Six Nations match against Wales at Cardiff on April 6th.

McGeechan said he would make no changes despite losing heavily to France in Edinburgh last Saturday as it was too late in the season to change his side's tactical approach.

The match will have added significance for stand-off Gregor Townsend who will win a 66th cap, breaking the Scottish record held by centre Scott Hastings.

Backs:Graeme Beveridge (Glasgow), Duncan Hodge (Edinburgh), Brendan Laney (Edinburgh), John Leslie (Northampton), Kenny Logan (Wasps), James McLaren (Glasgow), Glenn Metcalfe (Glasgow), Chris Paterson (Edinburgh), Bryan Redpath (Sale), Gregor Townsend (Castres).
