Andy Robinson taking no risks over Scots duo

Ruaridh Jackson and Simon Danielli have been ruled out of Scotland's opening RBS 6 Nations match and will not be considered until the tournament reaches its halfway point at the end of next month.

Both backs started against England during the World Cup, but Andy Robinson, Scotland's head coach yesterday admitted that he has had to rule them out.

Danielli's absence was to be expected – he has hardly featured for Ulster since returning from the World Cup and there is considerable cover on the wings.
