Scotland coach Gregor Townsend said flyhalf Finn Russell would continue with the kicking duties in Saturday's Six Nations game against Wales despite missing kicks at Twickenham that would have given his side victory over England two weeks ago.

Scotland vs Wales takes place on Saturday March 8, 2025 at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh. The match kicks off at 4:45pm GMT. TV channel: Scotland vs Wales is being shown live and free-to-air in the UK on BBC One and Welsh-language channel S4C, with coverage starting on both at 4pm GMT.

Scotland, more than most, should do it because their breakdown has struggled (only France have conceded more turnovers) and their handling errors are the highest in the championship.

Scotland are aiming to record three straight wins against Wales for the first time since the 1989-1991 Five Nations. Scotland's 35-7 victory in their last meeting with Wales at Murrayfield was their biggest winning margin in the 142-year history of this fixture and their highest total since a 35-10 win in 1924.

England and Italy first met in the Six Nations in 2000, when England ran out 59-12 winners, and the following year at Twickenham the scoreline was even more emphatic as the hosts claimed a record 80-23 success.
