Berliner Tageszeitung - Wales unchanged for Scotland Six Nations clash

Sherratt has kept faith with the side that gave champions Ireland a scare in Cardiff last month before losing 27-18 -- a record-extending 15th straight Test defeat.

It is the first time since 2019 and World Cup games against Georgia and Australia in Japan that Wales have fielded the same XV.

There are two changes on the bench. Former captain Dewi Lake, who was recently recalled to the squad after recovering from biceps surgery, returns along with Cardiff prop Keiron Assiratti.

"This week we've challenged ourselves to keep improving," said Cardiff boss Sherratt after naming his latest Wales side.

"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," added the Englishman, who has taken over for the final three rounds of the Six Nations following the end of Warren Gatland's second spell as Wales coach.

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

Scotland, looking to bounce back from an agonising 16-15 loss to England at Twickenham that left them with two defeats from three Championship games, are due to name their side later Thursday.
