Hadden makes four changes
Scotland head coach Frank Hadden has made four changes to his team for the World Cup Pool C clash against Romania at Murrayfield.
Prop Gavin Kerr and hooker Ross Ford will come into the front row in place of Allan Jacobsen and Scott Lawson respectively on Tuesday, while James Hamilton replaces Scott Murray at lock.
In the backs, Chris Paterson comes in the wing – with wide man Simon Webster moving into the centres as a replacement for the rested Marcus Di Rollo.
Dan Parks keeps his place at fly-half but is expected to hand over kicking duties to Paterson.
Jacobsen was ruled out of the tournament last week, after tearing his calf muscle during Scotland’s 56-10 defeat of Portugal.
“As usual the selection is about winning the game,” said Hadden on the BBC website, www.bbc.co.uk.
“We have also taken into account the nature of the powerful forward display with which Romania played against Italy at Marseille last week, and have picked a heavyweight pack of our own.”
Romania lost 24-18 to the Italians on Wednesday.
Scotland team:
R Lamont; S Lamont, S Webster, R Dewey, C Paterson; D Parks, M Blair; G Kerr, R Ford, E Murray, N Hines, J Hamilton, J White, A Hogg, S Taylor.
Replacements: S Lawson, C Smith, S MacLeod, K Brown, C Cusiter, H Southwell, N Walker.
