Wales have warned buoyant Scotland to beware "a wounded animal" in Sunday's RBS 6 Nations Championship clash at the Millennium Stadium.

Defence coach Clive Griffiths is confident his wounded Welsh players can instigate a backlash following their 47-13 hammering at the hands of England last Saturday.

"We have had a bad result and we are very despondent about it. But we've got 22 Welshmen out there on the weekend who are going to make every effort to put things back on track," he said.

"A wounded animal is always dangerous in my book, so hopefully we will be a dangerous animal on the weekend."

Wales were hurt after the first stage of their Grand Slam defence ended in defeat at Twickenham, but are now determined to look forward rather than back following the six tries to one reversal.

"Once your final debrief is over, having looked at the good, the bad and the ugly, you move on and that is what we have done," Griffiths added.

"We have moved on to Scotland and from now on it's just full focus on our friends from up north. We are certainly looking to up the ante on the weekend and get back to winning ways."

Griffiths admits, however, it is not going to be easy against a transformed Scotland who stopped early championship favourites France in their tracks.

But he believes that with both sides determined to play a positive brand of rugby it could be a memorable match on Sunday.

"I was very impressed with Scotland. With Frank Hadden taking over as Scotland coach, he has brought back a way of playing and a passion," he said.

Prop Adam Jones, who has a dead leg, is coach Mike Ruddock’s only injury concern ahead of tomorrow’s team announcement.
