Massive' Scots test awaits Wales

Warren Gatland has warned Wales not to slip up at the first step when they begin their Six Nations defence away to Scotland at Murrayfield on Sunday.
"Scotland, it's a potential banana-skin," said the Wales coach.
"Welsh teams have gone up to Scotland in the past and to Murrayfield, and there's been an expectation to perform.
"And Welsh teams have come back from Scotland with their tails between their legs and we now know that for us, mentally, that first game is massive."
Wales took the Grand Slam last year, their second in four seasons, against expectations in Gatland's first year in charge.
Their run to the 2008 title was sparked by a thrilling come-from-behind win in the opening match in England, Wales' first Twickenham triumph since 1988.
