11th time this weekend – a record for an England player • Only Maro Itoje, Jonny Hill, Tom Curry and Billy Vunipola retain their spots in the pack • George Ford comes into the starting line-up at

time Carley referees Scotland in the Six Nations – he refereed Wales’ loss to France in 2020 • Scotland have won their last four Six Nations matches – they have never won five in a row in the Six Nations era • They have not won five in a row in the Championship since 1984 • They have never won their first two matches of a Championship in the Six Nations era • Wales ended a run of four successive Six Nations defeats by beating Ireland last weekend • Wales have won on five of their last six visits to Murrayfield – the exception being a 29-13 loss in the 2017 Six Nations • Wales did not lose to Scotland when Warren Gatland was in charge, their one defeat in 2017 coming when he was on sabbatical with the British and Irish Lions • Scotland’s 14-10 victory in October was their first on Welsh soil since 2002 – it was also their first Six Nations away win outside of Rome since 2010 • Scotland have not won back-to-back matches against Wales since 2003 • Defeat for Wales would be their 200th loss in the history of the Championship • Wales need five tries to reach 250 in tests against Scotland (190) • Scotland need two penalties to bring up 150 in tests against Wales (154) •

Gregor Townsend on 82 caps for Scotland – joint sixth on the country’s all-time list • Scotland are forced into making three changes with Jamie Ritchie, Cameron Redpath and Sean Maitland unavailable through injury • Scarlets flanker Blade Thomson, centre James Lang and winger Darcy Graham come in with the bench unchanged from the Calcutta Cup victory • Adam Wainwright replaces the injured Dan Lydiate the only change to Wales pack • Gareth Davies, Liam Williams and Owen Watkin come into the backline • Willis Halalolo, a former Tonga U20 player, could make his Wales debut off the bench • Wales’ starting line-up has more than double the caps of Scotland’s (865 to 417) – the opposite is true for the bench 3 Men’s preview – 13-14 February, 2021 IRELAND v FRANCE – AVIVA STADIUM, DUBLIN –

  • Wales Win Six Nations As Scotland Upset ‘Disappointed’ France
    14 Established 1961 Sports Sunday, March 28, 2021 Photo of the day Rashford, Saka out of England qualifiers LONDON: Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka have both been ruled out of England’s World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Poland, the Football Association announced Friday. England launched their bid to play in the finals of Qatar 2022 with a comprehensive 5-0 thrashing of minnows San Marino at Wembley on Thursday. Rashford and Saka both missed that match and the FA have now confirmed the pair will miss England’s other two qualifying matches this month. England travel to Tirana today and face Poland at Wembley on Wednesday - their last fixture before manager Gareth Southgate names his squad for this year’s Covid-delayed European Championships. “Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka will play no part in England’s forthcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers,” the FA said in a statement. “Rashford reported to St George’s Park with an injury that ruled him out of the 5-0 win against San Marino and, following further assessment, it has been decided he will continue his rehabilitation with Manchester United. “Saka had remained at Arsenal for further assess- ment on an ongoing issue with the hope of joining up with the Three Lions but will now not be available for the fixtures against Albania and Poland.” Arsenal teenager Saka made his England debut against Wales in October and has since won a further three caps. Rashford only appeared in two of England’s eight fixtures in 2020 and has now been ruled out with a foot injury that made him miss Manchester United’s FA Cup quarter-final defeat at Leicester.
