Sidoli Returns to Wales Starting XV
7 February 2007, 12:00 am
Gareth Jenkins has made four changes to the Wales side for the RBS Six Nations Round 2 clash against Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday (Kick-off 3.30pm).
Gethin Jenkins moves to the replacements bench alongside Tom Shanklin and Mike Phillips.
"We've said same again to most of the back-line that faced Ireland and given them the chance to add a more clinical edge to what they achieved last weekend, with Mark Jones as the only change providing a welcome boost in Hal's absence," said Jenkins.
"We are also pleased to name Tom Shanklin on the bench, who should play some part in proceedings on Saturday, although his recent injury has left him a little short of match practice.
"In the forwards we are blessed with an abundance of talent at prop and we have gone for both Adam and Duncan (Jones) to give us the kind of impetus and freshness we will require there in light of the six-day turnaround before this fixture.
"Chris (Horsman) and Gethin (Jenkins) both did their jobs well last weekend, but we are lucky to be able to utilise the strength in depth we have in their respective areas.
"In the second row Ian Gough also gives way to a fresher Rob Sidoli in another selection choice which is testimony to the talent available in this squad."
"We may have lost the first battle of the Championship, but that doesn't mean our campaign is over by any means," added Jenkins.
"Scotland are not a side to be under-estimated, they can be especially dangerous at home and we will not be going into this game under-estimating them.
"But there were many positive points to take from our performance against Ireland and we will be looking to the Scotland game for a marked improvement and to get our Six Nations trophy challenge back on track."
Cardiff Blues season ticket holders are invited to apply to the ticket office for tickets for this weekend's Scotland v Wales RBS 6 Nations fixture at Murrayfield.
