Dan Parks will now start at stand-off with Chris Paterson moving to the left-wing. Andrew Henderson, the 52-times capped Glasgow Warriors centre, is drafted on to the bench. Scotland coach Frank Hadden said: It’s somewhat typical of the ill-luck we’ve had with injuries since the World Cup that we’ve lost Nikki Walker for our final match of the Championship. But we’ve made the changes with a view to giving us the best possible chance of victory tomorrow.
