Wales go in to the game on the back of a heavy defeat to England at Twickenham, but having kept the same XV this week, coach Mike Ruddock said: “The same15 players have a chance to dispel the demons of that loss and show what they are really capable of.

“Just as we were confident we could win last week, we think these players have the talent to put on a show against Scotland and get us back where we belong – on a winning run.”
