Scotland coach Vern Cotter lifts lid on cunning plan for Wales Six Nations clash
SCOTLAND have loaded their bench in an effort to match Wales in the second half of their Six Nations fixture at Murrayfield.
Vern Cotter has loaded his bench with some of Scotland's best - such as flanker Hamish Watson
The Scots come into the game with an even record in the Six Nations so far in 2017, having beaten Ireland and lost to France, albeit with a bonus point for staying within seven points.
Now Scotland are looking to reverse 10 years of history against Wales - they have not beaten them since 2007.
And Cotter believes it is his replacements, not his starting XV, who will make the biggest difference.
Scotland team to face Wales
Scotland: Stuart Hogg; Tommy Seymour, Huw Jones, Alex Dunbar, Tim Visser; Finn Russell, Ali Price; Gordon Reid, Fraser Brown, Zander Fagerson, Richie Gray, Jonny Gray, John Barclay (capt), John Hardie, Ryan Wilson.
Replacements: Ross Ford, Allan Dell, Simon Berghan, Tim Swinson, Hamish Watson, Henry Pyrgos, Duncan Weir, Mark Bennett.
