Head coach Frank Hadden was scheduled to announce his 22 for the match on Tuesday morning but will take another 24 hours before finalising his selection.

Scotland had concerns over 14 players on Monday, 12 of whom suffered knocks playing in Sunday's tournament opener against Wales.

Of that dozen, the most doubtful were prop Geoff Cross and wing Simon Webster, both of whom were briefly knocked out making tackles during the 26-13 defeat at Murrayfield.

Both were forced to leave the field early in the game and they must pass cognitive tests before they can be allowed to play.

Cross, who made his debut on Sunday, also suffered strains to both knees.

There were also knocks for Chris Cusiter (knee), Mike Blair (dead leg), Scott Gray (neck), Jim Hamilton (eye), Allan Jacobsen (knee), Jason White (calf), John Barclay (neck), Graeme Morrison (knee), Phil Godman (knee bruising) and Ben Cairns (hip).

The two other injury worries are key forwards Euan Murray (rib) and Nathan Hines (knee), both of whom failed to recover in time to face Wales.
