Gregor Townsend has selected his Scotland team to play Wales in Cardiff as they look to continue their positive start to the 2022 Six Nations.
Jonny Gray’s Exeter teammate Sam Skinner will start the match in place of Jamie Ritchie in one of five changes from last weekend’s starting line-up. Ritchie has received surgery on a hamstring injury and will be out for the rest of the 2022 Guinness Six Nations Championship.
Edinburgh Rugby’s Hamish Watson retains his place in the back row with Glasgow Warriors’ number 8 Matt Fagerson also starting, fresh from his Player of the Match performance against England.
There are three changes in the front row with Edinburgh Rugby’s Pierre Schoeman and WP Nel starting alongside hooker Stuart McInally.
