Scotland coach Gregor Townsend has made three injury-enforced changes to his starting lineup for Saturday’s Test against Wales at Murrayfield.

Flank Jamie Ritchie, centre Cameron Redpath and wing Sean Maitland are unavailable through injury.

The trio are replaced by Blade Thomson, James Lang and Darcy Graham in the starting lineup. All three played in the last meeting between the two nations, when Scotland beat Wales in Llanelli in October.

The rest of the run-on XV remains unchanged and all the replacements who travelled to Twickenham last week are selected again to complete the match 23.

Scotland – 15 Stuart Hogg (c), 14 Darcy Graham, 13 Chris Harris, 12 James Lang, 11 Duhan van der Merwe, 10 Finn Russell, 9 Ali Price, 8 Matt Fagerson, 7 Hamish Watson, 6 Blade Thomson, 5 Jonny Gray, 4 Scott Cummings, 3 Zander Fagerson, 2 George Turner, 1 Rory Sutherland.
Subs: 16 David Cherry, 17 Oli Kebble, 18 WP Nel, 19 Richie Gray, 20 Gary Graham, 21 Scott Steele, 22 Jaco van der Walt, 23 Huw Jones.
