[ad_1]

Wales will play Scotland this afternoon in the opening match of the Six Nations Super Saturday, which kicks off at 2.15pm.

Alun Wyn Jones becomes the most capped player in rugby history by leading a team from Wales showing six changes from the team defeated by France last weekend.

Shane Lewis-Hughes makes his debut as a blind end, while Liam Williams returns to the flank in place of the fallen George North.

However, Wales will not have Justin Tipuric, and the wing will miss an hour before kickoff due to tonsillitis. James Davies takes his place in the last row, with Aaron Wainwright entering the bench.
