LONDON, (Reuters) – Chris Paterson will become the  first Scottish player to win 100 caps when he turns out at fullback against Wales on Saturday.

Paterson was named in the starting team by coach Andy  Robinson yesterday and will be presented with a  specially-commissioned cap to mark the occasion after the match  at the Millennium Stadium.

The 31-year-old made his debut in 1999 and has developed  into the most accurate goalkicker in the international game.

“He’s a great professional both on the pitch and also off  it,” Robinson said of Paterson.

“He thoroughly deserves the honour and the tributes bestowed  upon him because of the way that he’s performed consistently  with a number of different coaches.”

Robinson made three changes from the team beaten 18-9 at  home by France on Sunday, with flyhalf Phil Godman, centre Max  Evans and prop Moray Lowe all dropped.

TACTICAL KICKING

Dan Parks takes over the number 10 shirt with Rory Lamont  coming in on the left wing and his brother Sean moving to  outside centre.

Key prop Euan Murray is back after missing the France game  because of his decision not to play on Sunday for religious  reasons.
