Two team coming off the back of contrasting starts to their Six Nations campaigns meet in Cardiff this afternoon as Wales host Scotland at the start of the second round of fixtures.
Wales played in last weekend’s opener against Ireland in Dublin but were hammered 29-7 as the home side set down an early marker.
Scotland were next in action later the same day at Murrayfield and, in a much closer affair, edged England out 20-17 to lift the Calcutta Cup.
As far as Wales’ hopes of retaining the trophy they won 12 months ago goes, this afternoon already looks pretty much must-win, while the Scots know victory would put them in a superb position, given Ireland and France - last week’s two other victors - clash in Paris later on this afternoon.
