Wales face Scotland this weekend as they look bounce to back from a nightmare start to this year's Six Nations championship. Warren Gatland's side were humbled by a rampant Ireland on the opening day, conceding three tries in the first 20 minutes of the game as they fell to a 34-10 defeat.
For hosts Scotland, however, the first round couldn't have gone much better as they recorded a third consecutive win over England in the Calcutta Cup, with Duhan van der Merwe scoring a stunning solo try that saw him maze through the opposition defence with a run that started from inside his own half, before grabbing another with just minutes remaining to seal a 29-23 victory.
Gatland has never lost to Scotland as Welsh coach, while Gregor Townsend's side have only won two of their last 16 matches against Wales, with their last victory coming in October 2020 when they ran out 14-10 winners at Parc y Scarlets. The last time the two teams met at Murrayfield in 2021, a thrilling game saw Wales edge 14-man Scotland to a 25-24 win, with Louis Rees-Zammit scoring two tries.
