Wales vs Scotland, Six Nations 2022: Lineups, team news, kick off time, TV channel, live stream, h2h and odds

Wales host Scotland in the opening Six Nations fixture of the weekend when Wales captain Dan Biggar will join an exclusive club when he runs out for his 100th international.

Biggar and team-mate Jonathan Davies will take the number of Wales players who have played 100 internationals to 10.

Wales and Scotland meet at the Principality Stadium looking to improve from the opening weekend of the tournament, but for very different reasons.

Scotland made a winning start by beating England at Murrayfield but needed a strong quarter. Wales were well beaten by Ireland in Dublin and must improve quickly to keep their title defence alive.

Wales are bidding to avoid losing their opening two games of a Six Nations campaign for the first time since 2007..
