Strong start from Scotland who win a turnover straight from the kick-off and have a penalty within the first minute.

It was a short but fitting tribute to Alun Wyn Jones. He ran out and was clapped by the whole Scotland team to the fireworks before being quickly followed by his team-mates.

And just at the end of the anthem you could hear him belting out the final notes. In his own style.

Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend is expecting a much sterner test this week, than against Georgia last week.

"They are a quality side, this is the Six Nations and we're playing away from home and we don't have a good record here, this is a step up," he told BBC Sport. "But we took a lot from last week.

"We don't have that many injuries. We've not played many games individually or as a team, but we've got some of the best players available.

"To win today would give everyone a big boost. This is really important for us. We've got to put our best performance in today to win."

I think Scotland are well capable of beating Wales today. But I've said that before and been proved dismally wrong.

Parc y Scarlets will take centre stage for Welsh rugby this afternoon and it is windy here but not wet fortunately!

Record breaker Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones and coach Wayne Pivac were having a stroll around 12:30pm to check out the swirling wind.

The Welsh Rugby Union have decorated the stadium in red with a big dragon behind the post with the simple message 'Diolch' - Welsh for thank you.

That is aimed all the Welsh rugby fans across the world for their continued support.

Shane came in during the Barbarians week and he had a quiet edge about him.

You could see he's a very focussed individual and has started the season really well with Cardiff Blues.

He's got a phenomenal work rate. I speak to Josh Turnball down at the Blues and he says how good he is and how hard he works in training.

He's very similar to Alun Wyn Jones in his approach to the game and hopefully he'll get a decent run out in his first Test today.

Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones says he understands the decision behind his family not being present at his world record cap appearance today.

The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) asked the Welsh government about a possible exemption for Jones' family to attend but the request was turned down.

"The fact it's at home and we can't have fans, we can't have family, it is what it is," said Jones.

Scotland have won only two of 41 away games excluding Italy in the Six Nations.

As well as beating Wales in 2002, a late penalty from Dan Parks saw them triumph over Ireland in Croke Park in 2010.

However, this year has seen a marked improvement in defence under Steve Tandy and a victory in Llanelli would make it three consecutive wins for Scotland in the tournament for the first time since 1996.

While this match will have no say on who is crowned Six Nations champion for 2020, three teams still have hopes of winning.

The 2020 Six Nations is set for a delayed but dramatic finale after we finish here at Parc y Scarlets.

Ireland have the most straightforward equation. They are the only team with their fate entirely in their own hands.

England and France also have their eye set on the title, but it is a little more complicated.

It has taken a lot longer than usual, but we have finally reached the final round of games in the Six Nations.

To help re-jog your memory of some of the games already played, here are the best tries of the tournament so far, featuring Wales' Josh Adams and Scotland's Stuart Hogg.

There has been no shortage of praise for Alun Wyn Jones ahead of today's game, including from former coach Warren Gatland.

Now British and Irish Lions boss, Gatland has hailed Jones as one of the greatest of all time.

It is 18 years since Scotland last beat Wales in Cardiff, in the final round of the 2002 Six Nations, and the great Bill McLaren's last international in the commentary box.

Gregor Townsend's men bid to end that barren run on Saturday as they conclude their Covid-19-disrupted championship seven months after the game was originally scheduled.

For a young forward trying to establish himself in the Wales squad, compliments do not come much bigger than the one head coach Wayne Pivac paid to Shane Lewis-Hughes.

"If you look at Alun Wyn in terms of his preparation, the way he trains, and the way he reviews and previews his opposition, Shane is a clone," said Pivac.

Scotland captain Stuart Hogg is looking forward to linking up again with "genius" fly-half Finn Russell.

Hogg's Exeter side defeated Russell's Racing 92 in the recent Champions Cup final, but the pair were pictured with fellow Scotland international Jonny Gray sharing a beer after the game.

BBC Sport Wales have charted the path of the Swansea schoolboy who has risen to secure modern rugby legend status.

Alun Wyn Jones' illustrious CV includes three Grand Slams, four Six Nations titles, two World Cup semi-finals and captaining the Lions as they beat the Wallabies in the 2013 series decider.

Scotland captain Stuart Hogg has been full of praise for record-breaker Alun Wyn Jones in the build up to this afternoon's game, but he still hopes to spoil the party.

To do that Scotland must do something they haven't done in 18 years - win on Welsh soil.

Hogg maintains Scotland are still well placed to end the lengthy miserable run.

BBC Sport Wales have been speaking to some of the rugby people who know Alun Wyn Jones the best, to get their views on the world's most capped player to be.

Scotland have made four changes to the team that beat Georgia, with returns for captain Stuart Hogg and the Finn Russell.

The relentless Jonny Gray, another Exeter player who will be on a high after recent success, is back in the engine room while Scarlets’ Blade Thomson makes a start at number eight, on his home patch.
