Wales arrive in Edinburgh as Grand Slam champions and favourites to retain their Six Nations crown, but Morrison believes Scotland have the potential to cause an upset on the opening weekend of the championship.

Morrison said: "There is no doubt that they have a potent backline but we in the Scottish backline believe in ourselves and we are sure there is a lot of talent there as well."

He added: "We play these guys regularly in Magners League matches throughout the season so we know what their strengths and weaknesses are.

"We have been working on how we are going to defend and how we are going to attack them, so we are looking forward to putting on a good show."

The Glasgow Warriors player may be adamant the prospect of playing Wales holds no fear, but that does not mean he is oblivious to how difficult the challenge is likely to be.

However, he would rather concentrate on the positives.

"Wales are up with the Southern Hemisphere, we saw that with the way they beat Australia," Morrison continued.

"They have a potent attacking backline and a few forwards who can score too.

"A lot of emphasis has been put on how good Wales are but we need to focus on our own game. If we get our basics right and do the things we have been told to do, it could be an interesting outcome."
