Injury rules Tipuric out of Scotland clash but five Ospreys are in

An ankle injury picked up during his second half appearance against Ireland last weekend means that Justin Tipuric missed Sundays 6 Nations game against Scotland - but five fellow Ospreys retain their places in the match day 22.
Four Ospreys forwards start once again, with Huw Bennett, Adam Jones, Ian Evans and Ryan Jones included, Ryan switching from flanker to second row, while Paul James is the fifth Ospreys, named among the changes.
In total Wales have made three changes, including the one positional switch, to their starting line-up for the game on Sunday (kick-off 3.00pm).
Gethin Jenkins and Dan Lydiate have both recovered from injury to start against the Scots.
Jenkins, the 83-times capped Blues and British & Irish Lions loose-head prop, has overcome a knee problem to replace Rhys Gill (Saracens) in the front row, with Gill missing out altogether, and Dragons back row forward Lydiate (ankle) returns to the flank vacated by Jones.
Ryan, who makes his 60th international appearance on Sunday, is called into the second row in place of the suspended Bradley Davies (Blues).
One more change occurs on the bench, with uncapped Scarlets lock Lou Reed set to make his debut if required, but elsewhere Warren Gatland and his coaching team have said 'same again' to the team who gave them a winning start to the 2012 Championship in the tough opening fixture at the Aviva Stadium last Sunday.
"Gethin brings a wealth of experience to the team, which is the main reason we have brought him in for Rhys, who is unlucky to miss out with Paul James covering both sides of the scrum from the bench," said Wales head coach Gatland.
"Dan's return from injury is timely and Ryan's versatility allows us to cover for Bradley with minimum disruption, with Lou Reed also giving us an extra option from the bench.
"We cannot afford to underestimate Scotland, the amount of possession and territory they had against England last weekend meant that they should have won the game and they will come to the Millennium Stadium buoyed by that knowledge."
