    Scotland v Wales (16:45)

    Well, it's long overdue...

    Scotland have not followed up a round-one win with another victory since beating Ireland and France in 1996.

    While you let that sink in, here's a reminder that Scotland have opened with wins over England only to fall to narrow defeats to Wales on the second week of the competition in each of the past two years.

    Wales must start well. They can't give up the gain-line as easily as they did last week.

    That's the main focus, a fast start.

    Scotland have to win this game. The impact of not winning is just too scary a thought for this group of players.

  4. Ireland with one hand on the trophy?published at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February 2023

    Ireland have just beaten France 32-19 in Dublin.

    Can anyone stop Andy Farrell's side this year?

    Scotland v Wales (16:45)

    After suffering their heaviest at home in the Six Nations since 2001, Wales have overhauled their pack, making five changes among the forwards.

    The headline news is the absence of veterans Alun Wyn Jones and Justin Tipuric, with Taulupe Faletau dropping to the bench.

    Dafydd Jenkins and Christ Tshiunza make their first starts, while Tommy Reffell completes a new-look back-row.

    Wales:15-L. Williams; 14-Adams, 13-North, 12-Hawkins, 11-Dyer; 10-Biggar, 9-T. Williams; 1-W. Jones, 2-Owens (capt), 3-Lewis, 4-Jenkins, 5-Beard, 6-Tshiunza, 7-Reffell, 8-Morgan

    Scotland v Wales (16:45)

    After winning back-to-back matches at Twickenham for the first time it's no surprise to see Scotland make just one change for today's game.

    Glasgow tighthead Zander Fagerson, who has not played since early December due to a hamstring injury, replaces WP Nel in the front row.

    Nel drops to the bench, with Simon Berghan the man to miss out.

    Scotland:15-Hogg; 14-Steyn, 13-Jones, 12-Tuipulotu, 11-Van der Merwe; 10-Russell, 9-White; 1-Schoeman, 2-Turner, 3-Z. Fagerson, 4-R. Gray, 5-Gilchrist, 6-Ritchie (capt), 7-Crosbie, 8-M. Fagerson

  7. What happened last week?published at 16:03 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February 2023

    Scotland v Wales (16:45)

    A quick recap of last weekend...

    Scotland had ice running through their veins in the key moments at Twickenham, running in four tries on the back of 29% territory for a thrilling 29-23 victory.

    Duhan van der Merwe scored two of those - and both were absolutely breathtaking.

    Wales must pick themselves up after being blown away by Ireland in Cardiff, with the contest over after the visitors' blitzed three tries in the opening 25 minutes.

    Having been completely overrun in the first half, Wales improved after the interval but could only manage one Liam Williams score in a 34-10 loss.

    As Ireland and France finish off a titanic battle in Dublin, we turn our focus to the big one at Murrayfield.

    Scotland are in a good place following a thrilling Calcutta Cup win last weekend, but Wales will be hurting after an opening loss at home to Ireland and have a very healthy record in this fixture.

    Let's get on with the build-up, shall we?
