Scotland were impressive against England. Although some commentators unfairly suggested that Luke Cowan-Dickie's moment of madness lost England the game, the fact is that Scotland's good play forced him into his misguided action — and they might well have scored anyway. No, Scotland won rather than England losing — and there's every reason to think they could beat the Welsh too.
However, they'll have to do so without flanker Jamie Ritchie, who has been ruled out for the rest of the tournament. He's replaced by Sam Skinner and there's also an entirely new front row composed of Pierre Schoeman, WP Nel and Stuart McInally. There's also a change in the backs, where Sione Tuipulotu starts at inside centre in place of Sam Johnson.
The Welsh are the reigning Six Nations champions, but looked anything like it against Ireland, going down 29-7 in Dublin. Then again, it's hardly surprising given how many key figures they have out injured. Lions stars Alun Wyn Jones, Dan Lydiate, George North and Leigh Halfpenny are among a glut of players still missing, and to that list they can now add Josh Adams.
Owen Watkin starts at centre in his place, while Alex Cuthbert comes in on the wing. Jac Morgan makes his debut at flanker, with Ross Moriarty also starting. Captain Dan Biggar will reach a landmark 100 tests today, as will centre Jonathan Davies if he comes off the bench.
Here's how they line up:
Wales: L. Williams; Cuthbert, Watkin, Tompkins, Rees-Zammit; Biggar (capt), T. Williams; W. Jones, Elias, Francis, Rowlands, Beard, Basham, Morgan, Moriarty
Replacements: Lake, G. Thomas, Lewis, S. Davies, Wainwright, G. Davies, Sheedy, J. Davies
Scotland: Hogg (capt); Graham, Harris, Tuipulotu, Van der Merwe; Russell, Price; Schoeman, McInally, Nel, Gray, Gilchrist, Skinner, Watson, M. Fagerson
Replacements: Turner, Sutherland, Z. Fagerson, Bradbury, Darge, White, Kinghorn, Redpath
