After reaching the quarter-finals of the Rugby World Cup, Wales have embarked on a rebuilding phase and enter the Six Nations without a host of star names. Taulupe Faletau, Jac Morgan and Dewi Lake are all injured, Louis Rees-Zammit is trying his luck in the NFL, Leigh Halfpenny and Dan Biggar have retired, and Liam Williams is unavailable after choosing to play club rugby in Japan.
This has led to coach Warren Gatland naming five uncapped players in his squad, while 21-year-old Dafydd Jenkins has been named captain. On paper, it seems a tough task but Wales have an impressive record against the Scots in the capital, having not lost against their rivals in Cardiff since 2002.
Scotland coach Gregor Townsend will be hoping to end his run at the Principality Stadium and will hope that influential co-captain Finn Russell can once again star. The 31-year-old delivered an electric performance in the reverse fixture last year as Scotland produced a record 35-7 victory over Wales at Murrayfield.
Here's how they line up:
Scotland XV: Rowe, Steyn, Jones, Tuipulotu, Van der Merwe, Russell, White; Schoeman, Turner, Z Fagerson, R Gray, Cummings, Crosbie, Ritchie, M Fagerson.
Replacements: Ashman, Hepburn, Millar-Mills, Skinner, Dempsey, Horne, Healy, Redpath.
Wales XV: Winnett; Dyer, Watkin, Tompkins, Adams; Costelow, G Davies; Domachowski, Elias, Brown, Jenkins (capt), Beard, Botham, Reffell, Wainwright.
Replacements: Dee, Mathias, Assiratti, Teddy Williams, Mann, Tomos Williams, Lloyd, Grady.
