Scotland's managerGeorgeBurley has claimed that hiscaptain, Darren Fletcher, wouldbepartofFabio Capello'sEngland set-up had he been born on the other side of the border.
Froch broke from his usual routine of heading out to Ireland for a four-week training camp and instead spent March in Loughton, Essex, where he sparred with Commonwealth middleweight champion Darren Barker and super-middleweight prospect George Groves.
Burley introduced winger Finidi George in place of defender Hreidarsson in an attempt to give his side some fresh impetus - and Darren Bent should have done better when drilling Jermaine Wright's centre over the crossbar.
