Scotland coach Gregor Townsend has made three changes to his starting side for their concluding Six Nations match against Wales in Cardiff on Saturday. All the alterations are in the pack, with back-row Magnus Bradbury, lock Sam Skinner and hooker Stuart McInally, the vice-captain, coming into the run-on team for the Principality Stadium fixture. Fraser Brown and Scott Cummings have dropped down to the bench, with No. 8 Nick Haining unavailable through illness. Victory would see Scotland win three successive championship matches for the first time since the 1996 Five Nations. This match is the only one out of the three scheduled fixtures still going ahead for what had been planned as the final Saturday of the tournament. Games between France and Ireland in Paris and Italy and England in Rome have both been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak. Scotland (15-1) Stuart Hogg (capt); Sean Maitland, Chris Harris, Sam Johnson, Blair Kinghorn; Adam Hastings, Ali Price; Magnus Bradbury, Hamish Watson, Jamie Ritchie; Grant Gilchrist, Sam Skinner; Zander Fagerson, Stuart McInally, Rory Sutherland Replacements: Fraser Brown, Allan Dell, Willem Nel, Scott Cummings, Matt Fagerson, George Horne, Duncan Weir, Kyle Steyn jdg/iwd
