Parks recalled to face Wales

PHIL Godman has paid the price for Scotland's opening RBS 6 Nations defeat to France as Dan Parks was recalled at fly-half for Saturday's trip to Wales.

Parks' return was one of three changes from Sunday's 18-9 loss at Murrayfield, with prop star Euan Murray and back-three man Rory Lamont also back in the starting XV.

Lamont was named on the left wing, with brother Sean surprisingly moved to outside centre in place of Max Evans.
