Six Nations: Injury forces Russell out of Scotland squad

Scotland have been forced to make one change to their squad for the Six Nations Championship match with Wales at Murrayfield.

Saracens' Robert Russell has withdrawn, having aggravated a shoulder injury in training. Edinburgh Reivers hooker Stephen Scott is promoted from the A squad to take his place.

Scott won his first cap as a second-half substitute in the second Test on the 2000 summer tour of New Zealand.

Last season he was on the bench for the Six Nations Championship match with France.

Scotland A will be without Northampton's Steve Brotherstone, who has not recovered from the knee injury which caused his withdrawal from the match against France.

The two additional players required for the Scotland A squad have yet to be announced.
