Murray and Strokosch back for Scotland clash with Wales

Scotland`s interim head coach Scott Johnson has recalled Euan Murray and Alasdair Strokosch to his squad for this Saturday`s RBS 6 Nation clash with Wales.

Murray, the 32-year-old tight-head prop, and 31-times-capped Perpignan back-row forward Strokosch both return to the group after missing last month`s 12-8 win over Ireland.

Devout Christian Murray was unavailable on religious grounds as he declines to play on the Sabbath while Strokosch has been sidelined since the facial injury he suffered in the opening-day defeat to England at Twickenham.
