Scotland have doubts over key forwards
4 Feb 2009Two 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."
