Wales sweat on forwards fitness

Wales are sweating on the fitness of forwards Robin McBryde and Robert Sidoli as coach Steve Hansen makes his preparations for Saturday’s RBS 6 Nations Championship opener against Scotland.

Hooker McBryde has been in impressive form for Llanelli Scarlets this season, but is struggling with a back injury, while Celtic Warriors second-row Sidoli has been hampered by a niggling groin since he returned from the World Cup in Australia.
