Hook keen to impress against Scots

JAMES HOOK will wear Wales’ fabled number 10 shirt for the first time in almost two years on Saturday — and he does not intend to disappoint.

Wales coach Warren Gatland admits he has made “a brave call” in handing Hook the playmaker’s role against RBS 6 Nations opponents Scotland at Murrayfield.

Hook’s first fly-half start at any level of rugby this season comes with 96 times-capped Stephen Jones still shaking off the effects of a bang to his neck received in an attempted tackle on England full-back Ben Foden four days ago.
