Lake on bench as Wales XV unchanged for Scotland

Matt Sherratt has named an unchanged starting XV for Wales' Six Nations trip to Scotland, while Dewi Lake and Keiron Assiratti are recalled to the bench.

Lake, who captained Wales during the 2024 summer tour and the autumn internationals, was called up to the squad after recovering from a biceps injury.

He takes the place of Evan Lloyd on the bench, with Elliot Dee the starting hooker, while tight-head prop Assiratti is preferred to Henry Thomas.

Sherratt has kept faith with the side which showed encouraging signs of improvement in his first game in interim charge against Ireland.

And should there be no late withdrawals, this would be the first time Wales have fielded an unchanged starting team since the 2019 World Cup against Georgia and Australia.

"I thought across the board there some really good performances [against Ireland] and I'm obviously keen to let them go again," said Sherratt.

"It was a cohesive as we could have asked for with the amount of prep time that we had, it's a reward for that really.

"Dewi coming back in, he's been captain of his country, captain of the Ospreys, a very good player, just having him back in training last week, you can see his quality very easily.

"He'll be massive for us and obviously allows us to finish the game pretty strongly as well."
