Who is Scotland v Wales referee Andrew Brace, the Cardiff-born Irishman who left France and Shaun Edwards fuming

Wales face Scotland this weekend as they look to get their Six Nations back on track after a nightmare start against Ireland in the opening round. Warren Gatland's side were humbled by Andy Farrell's men in Cardiff, conceding three tries in the first 20 minutes of the game as they fell to a 10-34 defeat.

Much of their undoing was their shocking discipline in the first half, as they gave away eight penalties in the opening 25 minutes, conceding 15 overall. Wales will likely be much tighter at Murrayfield.

The man they need to stay on the right side of is Andrew Brace, a former player turned referee with previous Six Nations and World Cup experience, but not always the most popular with coaches, including a Welsh legend.
