SCOTLAND and Wales are set to square off in round two of the Six Nations 2023 TODAY.
Duhan van der Merwe's TWO wonder-tries inspired Scotland to a phenomenal comeback against bitter rivals England.
And it was a result that saw the Scots retain the Calcutta Cup once again having held on to it since 2021.
Furthermore, Scottish head coach Gregor Townsend will feel as if his side are more than capable of beating a Welsh outfit who lost to Ireland in their opener.
However, it could be tougher than expected as Scotland have failed to beat Wales in the last two encounters.
