STUART GRIMES

Born: 04.04.74
Height: 6ft 5in
Weight: 17st
Position: Lock
Club: Newcastle
Caps: 51
Points: 20

So much of Scotland's forward play revolves around Grimes that if he is a key cog in Ian McGeechan's machine.

The 17th Scot to pass 50 caps - he reached the landmark against Wales in August - Grimes is built like a brick outhouse with the power to match.

Allying a pheonmenal work-rate with agility and pace in the loose, Grimes is just about the ideal mould for a lock.

Having made his debut for Scotland six years ago, he has rarely been out of the senior squad since and remains vital to Scotland's hopes.
