Hogg hoping to put ineffective bow behind him

Scotland back-row forward Allister Hogg is looking to put the lingering disappointment of his RBS 6 Nations debut against Wales in Cardiff last year behind him when he faces up to the Welsh once again.

The Edinburgh man pulled on the dark blue jersey for the first time last February but failed to make an impact as the struggling Scots went down 23-10 on their way to their first championship whitewash in 19 years.
