Ruddock plays down all talk of Welsh Grand Slam

MIKE RUDDOCK has attempted to play down escalating hype and hysteria surrounding a possible Grand Slam season by claiming there has been “no talk of it” in the Welsh camp.

The Wales coach has made two changes both enforced following an injury to skipper Gareth Thomas for Sunday's clash against Scotland at Murrayfield.

With the influential Thomas nursing a broken thumb, Newport Gwent Dragons wing Kevin Morgan lines up at full-back and experienced Cardiff Blues speedster Rhys Williams has been handed the number 14 jersey.
