Glasgow fly-half Duncan Weir will make his first start for Scotland in Saturday's Six Nations Championship match against Wales at Murrayfield. Weir, whose three previous caps have been won from the bench, replaces his club team-mate Ruaridh Jackson at No 10, while Worcester prop Euan Murray returns to the side after missing last month's 12-8 win over Ireland on religious grounds. Weir said: "It's a moment I'll cherish and hopefully I can do the coaches justice for giving me the start." More to follow...
