Scotland vs Wales live stream: Preview
Scotland host Wales at the BT Murrayfield Stadium in round two of the 2023 Six Nations. Gregor Townsend's team are fresh from last week's routing of England on English soil, and, having pulled off a hat-trick of Calcutta Cup victories, they'll be flying high. But history is not on their side...
Scotland have never won their first two matches in the Six Nations. The last time they won in rounds one and two, the tournament was called the Five Nations, and the year was 1996 – a full 27 years ago. So they'll be hoping to change the narrative at home today.
Which they may well do. Wales looked decidedly underwhelming against Ireland last weekend, in coach Warren Gatland's highly anticipated return. Admittedly Ireland are ranked the number one team in the world, so Wales were up against a more than worthy adversary. But still, there are a lot of improvements to be made.
Gatland recognises this, and has made some big changes for Saturday's team. Veterans Alun Wyn Jones, Taulupe Faletau and Justin Tipuric have been left out of the squad, in favour of younger blood: in come Dafydd Jenkins and Christ Tshiunza (both from the Exeter Chiefs, and both making their national debut), with Tommy Reffell also new in the back-row.
Gatland suggests he's thinking about September's Rugby World Cup, not just about the task at hand.
"We still want to do well in this tournament," he said. "But we need to think long term as well in the next seven or eight months. We've got a huge disparity between those experienced players with the number of caps they've got and a lot of incredibly talented youngsters with a limited number of caps. We just need to find that balance."
Will he get the balance right against Scotland? Here's how you can watch live and find out.
Scotland vs Wales kicks off at 4.45pm GMT / 11.45am EST on Saturday 11th February, at the BT Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh. Make sure you know how to watch a Scotland vs Wales Six Nations 2023 live stream.
