Scotland vs Wales match preview
The combination of Wales and Warren Gatland is one that most Scots would probably rather not think about. In 11 previous outings, Gatland has never lost a game against Scotland, while for two championships running, Wales have managed to burst Gregor Townsend's balloon just as it had looked set to soar. It's the first Doddie Weir Cup game since the death of the Scottish legend at the age of just 52, and Murrayfield will pay tribute to one of its favorite sons today.
Scotland kicked off their Six Nations campaign with a rousing, Duhan van der Merwe-inspired 29-23 victory over England, but recent history tells us that it's too early to even consider a potential title charge. That's because, in each of the last two years, they've had to face Wales in the second round, and it hasn't gone well.
You have to rewind all the way back to 1996 for the last time Scotland started a championship with two consecutive victories, but there's no injury crisis for Townsend to deal with, and the return of star prop Zander Fagerson is certainly a good omen. The Warriors man is in for WP Nel in the only change to the Scotland XV that started last weekend's match.
Going with experience resulted in a 10-34 trouncing at the hands of an admittedly outstanding Ireland team, and Gatland has responded by swinging the opposite way, making six changes in total. Dafydd Jenkins and Christ Tshiunza have been handed their first starts for the national team. They're joined by Tommy Reffell in a reshuffled back row.
Meanwhile, former skippers Alun Wyn Jones and Justin Tipuric aren't even in the squad, and fellow old head Taulupe Faletau drops to the bench.
Murrayfield is looking pretty dreary today, but despite the grey skies it's dry and mild, and you can follow our guide as we explain all the ways to watch a Scotland vs Wales live stream from wherever you are.
