The team is as expected with two key players coming back in to give the scrum a bit more stability. Ryan Jones in the second row is not that hard to see as he has played there quite a bit before and his bulk will help quite a bit. A welsh win against a rather poor Scotland is on the cards provided Wales play to thier potential.
