What they said

Head Coach Gregor Townsend said: “You can see Wales are playing with freedom, they move the ball wide, some quality players and I’m sure they’ll come up with that same mindset to move the ball, to attack the breakdown and give it everything.

“(On Darcy Graham’s return) He’s been doing contact for 10 days, he was in great form before his injury and we expect him to be in similar form, he’s trained really well.

“We pass Doddie’s statue as we come into the stadium on home games, we see a lot of our supporters wearing his foundation’s tartan. It’s a really good fixture, the stories over the decades of thousands of Wales fans coming up to Scotland and enjoying not just the city but the clubs all over Scotland.”

The teams

  • Scotland’s Blair Kinghorn tops the charts for carries (58) and metres gained (371) in the 2025 Guinness Men’s Six Nations so far, he has chosen to kick the ball just six times.
