Jones replaces Luscombe

Mark Jones has recovered from ankle ligament damage to be named on the wing for Wales' Nations clash with Scotland at Murrayfield.

Jones comes into the side for Hal Luscombe, who is struggling with a knee injury, as the only change to the Welsh back division from last weekend's 19-9 defeat to Ireland.

But head coach Gareth Jenkins has made three alterations to the pack for Saturday's Test. Props Adam Jones and Duncan Jones replace Chris Horsman and Gethin Jenkins in the front row, while Robert Sidoli starts at lock ahead of Ian Gough.

Coach Jenkins said: "We've said 'same again' to most of the back-line that faced Ireland and given them the chance to add a more clinical edge to what they achieved last weekend, with Mark Jones as the only change providing a welcome boost in Hal's absence.

"In the forwards we are blessed with an abundance of talent at prop and we have gone for both Adam and Duncan to give us the kind of impetus and freshness we will require there in light of the six-day turnaround before this fixture."

Winger Shane Williams was not considered for selection after being hit by a stomach bug and there is still no place in the squad for Gavin Henson.
