EDINBURGH (Reuters) - Scotland coach Frank Hadden named a weakened team yesterday for Sunday's World Cup Pool C match against New Zealand with only two players retained from the side who beat Romania 42-0 last Tuesday.

Wingers Chris Paterson, who moves to flyhalf, and Simon Webster are the only players in the team who started against the Romanians.

Prop Alasdair Dickinson and flanker John Barclay will make their international debuts against the tournament favourites.

Scotland, who have never beaten the All Blacks, play Italy on September 29 in a match which should decide which of the two Six Nations teams qualify for the quarter-finals.

Scotland: 15-Hugo Southwell, 14-Nikki Walker, 13-Marcus Di Rollo, 12-Andrew Henderson, 11-Simon Webster, 10-Chris Paterson, 9-Chris Cusiter, 8-Dave Callam, 7-John Barclay, 6-Kelly Brown, 5-Scott Murray (captain), 4-Scott MacLeod, 3-Craig Smith, 2-Scott Lawson, 1-Alasdair Dickinson.

Replacements: 16-Fergus Thomson, 17-Gavin Kerr, 18-James Hamilton, 19-Allister Hogg, 20-Rory Lawson, 21-Dan Parks, 22-Rob Dewey.
