Wales coach Mike Ruddock has made two changes to his starting line-up for the visit to Murrayfield in the RBS Six Nations Championship on Sunday.

Kevin Morgan moves from wing to full-back to cover the spot left by injured captain Gareth Thomas whilst Rhys Williams joins the starting line-up on the right wing.
On the bench Michael Phillips provides cover at scrum-half in place of Gareth Cooper, who was injured in the Tsunami Appeal game at Twickenham.
Wales Team:
15 Kevin Morgan, 14 Rhys Williams, 13 Tom Shanklin, 12 Gavin Henson, 11 Shane Williams, 10 Stephen Jones, 9 Dwayne Peel, 1 Gethin Jenkins, 2 Mefin Davies, 3 Adam Jones, 4 Brent Cockbain, 5 Robert Sidoli, 6 Ryan Jones, 7 Martyn Williams, 8 Michael Owen (C)
Replacements
16 Robin McBryde, 17 John Yapp, 18 Jonathan Thomas, 19 Robin Sowden-Taylor, 20 Michael Phillips, 21 Ceri Sweeney, 22 Hal Luscombe.

Wales will be looking for a victory over their Celtic rivals to keep their hopes of a Championship Grand Slam alive and setting up the prospect of a winner takes all clash against Ireland at the Millennium stadium next week.
