HOW THE TEAMS WILL LINE UP
CARDIFF Blues flanker Shane Lewis-Hughes will make his debut for Wales against Scotland at Parc y Scarlets tomorrow.
The back-rower was not named in head coach Wayne Pivac’s initial squad, but was called up to the group to cover injuries to Josh Navidi and Ross Moriarty.
And the 23-year-old will go into the starting back-row at the expense of Aaron Wainwright, who drops out of the squad.
In the second row, skipper Alun Wyn Jones will make his 149th Test appearance, setting a new world record previously held by All Blacks great Richie McCaw.
Elsewhere, George North has made way for Liam Williams to start on the wing and Nick Tompkins is dropped to the bench, with Owen Watkin coming in to partner Jonathan Davies.
Rhys Webb is injured and misses out on the match, meaning Gareth Davies starts in the No.9 shirt with Lloyd Williams, called into the squad this week, leapfrogging Kieran Hardy to take a place on the bench.
Up front, Tomas Francis starts on the tight-head and second row Will
Rowlands also comes in after both played in last weekend’s Gallagher Premiership final.
Finn Russell will start for Scotland in place of Adam Hastings, while captain Stuart Hogg and second-row forward Jonny Gray return to the side in the wake of their doublewinning exploits with Exeter.
Scarlets number eight Blade Thomson also comes in to start on his home ground in Llanelli in place of the injured Matt Fagerson, while Ben Toolis also drops to the bench alongside Hastings.
