You have to go back a decade for the last time Scotland beat Wales but victory this weekend could catapult them into Championship contention.

Vern Cotter’s Scotland side downed Ireland in the opening round of the RBS 6 Nations before slipping to defeat to France last time out.

But in a British & Irish Lions year, with Head Coach Warren Gatland watching on in Edinburgh on Saturday, there is much to play for.

Wales produced one of their best performances but still slipped to a late defeat to England last time out and will be desperate to bounce back in the Scottish capital.

The only Wales change sees George North recalled to the starting line-up after missing the clash with England having failed to shake off a dead leg.

The 2013 British & Irish Lion will be keen to make up for lost time when he takes his place on the right wing and after his match-winning try last time these two side met, Scotland will be wary.
