Wales’ interim head coach Matt Sherratt has named an unchanged side to face Scotland in the penultimate game of the Six Nations.

The Cardiff Rugby boss will be hoping winless Wales can go one step further against the Scots at Murrayfield on Saturday, after pushing Ireland close in Cardiff two weeks ago.

Wales come into the match winless at the foot of the table, while Scotland are fourth with one victory to their name.

Ahead of the tie, Sherratt said: “This week we’ve challenged ourselves to keep improving. We want to keep the same intent and bravery as we showed last time out, but making sure that we are building on our game.

“We’re excited for the challenge of playing Scotland in Edinburgh and can’t wait to get out there on Saturday.”
