Scotland have doubts over key forwards

Two key Scotland forwards, Euan Murray and Nathan Hines, are fighting to be fit to face Wales on Sunday.

Northampton prop Murray, who is in contention for a place on summer's Lions tour to South Africa, missed Saturday's defeat at Harlequins due to damaged ribs, while lock Hines twisted a knee playing for Perpignan at Stade Francais at the weekend.

Scotland's forwards coach Mike Brewer said: "I'd say Euan's a bit more doubtful than Nathan but we'll give them until Friday to prove their fitness. They're very important members of the team, an integral part of our pack."
