Wales name side to face Scotland in final Six Nations clash

Wales have announced the side that will face Scotland in their final Six Nations fixture this weekend.

Wales head coach Wayne Pivac, has made four changes to the team beaten by England last weekend, calling up uncapped Sale Sharks prop WillGriff John, fellow front-rower Wyn Jones, lock Cory Hill and scrum-half Rhys Webb.

The fixture is still scheduled to take place despite other Six Nations matches being postponed due to coronavirus.

The tournament will be adjourned after events in Cardiff due to the outbreak, with three games outstanding - Ireland's fixtures against Italy and France, plus England's trip to Rome.

Alun Wyn Jones will equal the world record for most international rugby union appearances in Saturday's clash against Scotland.

Jones' 148th Test, a tally that includes nine for the British and Irish Lions, matches the figure set by New Zealand's World Cup-winning captain Richie McCaw between 2001 and 2015.
