Coach, who has used 39 players in this campaign, is looking to develop the squad depth needed to challenge at the top, with Jaco van der Walt set to win first cap
There may not have been fluency in the Autumn Nations Cup so far, but there is symmetry. The fixtures involving the Six Nations teams are the same as on the opening weekend of this year’s championship, apart from England having ground advantage over France, and if the outcome is another three home victories, the finishing positions will be the same as the tournament that concluded belatedly in October.
The best chance of an upset, for all Wales’s wobbling, looks to be in Dublin where Scotland seek the away victory of note that would confirm their revival. They won in Llanelli five weeks ago against a Wales team that was as mute as the atmosphere at Parc y Scarlets and drew at Twickenham in 2019 after a frenzied comeback, but their most recent visit to Dublin 10 months ago was another hard-luck story.
