Wales welcome Scotland to the Principality Stadium on Saturday afternoon bidding to put their Dublin nightmare behind them.
Wayne Pivac's reigning Six Nations champions lost the opening-round fixture to a firing Irish team, with the visitors unable to handle their physicality and control their discipline.
Scotland, meanwhile, head to the Welsh capital on the back off an impressive, and dramatic, 20-17 win over England in Edinburgh, marking the first time they have retained the Calcutta Cup in successive years since 1983/84.
However, Gregor Townsend's men have something of a Cardiff hoodoo to overcome; they have not won in the Welsh capital since 2002. They did beat Wales in Llanelli behind closed doors in October 2020, but are well aware of the difference a first Six Nations crowd at a Wales home game in two years could make.
Here's everything you need to know about the match:

What's the Wales v Scotland team news?
Wales boss Wayne Pivac has made four personnel changes to the side beaten 29-7 in Dublin last time out.
Ross Moriarty moves up from the bench to start at No. 8 and former U20s captain and Wales debutant Jac Morgan gets the No. 7 jersey, meaning Taine Basham - who impressed against Ireland - moves over to blindside flanker.
Josh Adams, who started at centre last time out, is ruled out due to a calf problem, so Owen Watkin moves up from the replacements cohort to start at No. 13 alongside Nick Tompkins.
The final change comes in the back-three, with Alex Cuthbert being drafted in to replace Johnny McNicholl to line up with Liam Williams at full-back and Louis Rees-Zammit on the opposite wing.
The front five is unchanged, meaning the front row of Wyn Jones, Ryan Elias and Tomas Francis stay in situ, backed up by vice-captain Adam Beard and Will Rowlands in the second row.
Tomos Williams partners captain Dan Biggar at half-back, with the fly-half and captain making his 100th Test appearance when including Lions Test outings.

What have the coaches said?
Wales head coach Wayne Pivac: "On reflection, we clearly didn’t achieve what we wanted to out in Dublin. Part of it was getting parity in terms of the physical side of the game - whether that is ball-carrying, cleaning rucks, big defence, that sort of thing - we came up short, there is no hiding from that fact.
"The players are very critical of themselves. They’re very disappointed after the game last week. They have worked very hard so far through this week.
"They are desperate to go out there and show we are a much better team than the display we put on last week.
"Everybody in the camp was very disappointed with last week. We are at home, we are in front of 75,000 people, and we owe it to ourselves and our public to put on a better display, as simple as that.
"You have got to respect the Scotland side. They are a very good side, they have got a number of Lions. They showed last week that they fight for every blade of grass, and that is certainly what we have got to be doing on the weekend.
"We have to match that, and then bring some on top of that. It is going to be a very hard-fought game, we know that, and it is a Scotland team coming full of confidence."

Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend: "But I felt the second quarter and in parts of the second half, Wales were equal to Ireland. They created chances, they showed the defence can get turnovers. We know they'll be better for that game and they're a top side with great players right throughout the 15.
"The way Wales want to play is an attacking game, their defence has changed over the last year or two as well, they're very aggressive in the defensive set-up, they push high so that asks questions of our decision-makers, and they've got experienced players in the pack.
"Wyn Jones had a great Six Nations last year, on the Lions tour, Adam Beard came through and played a Lions Test.
"We know they have experience, quality, they were champions last year, they grow an extra arm and leg when they're playing in the Principality. We'll see the best version of Wales this weekend, we just have to make sure our best version is on the field as well."
