Wales are marginal favourites to beat
Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday in the Six Nations but,
after Jonathan Davies’ misdirected clearance with less than four
minutes remaining undid all the good work of the preceding
seventy-six against England at the Principality Stadium, 11/10 about
the home side may not be a bad bet. Scotland number eight Josh
Strauss suffered a kidney injury during the spirited 22-16 loss to
France at Stade de France two weeks ago and joins captain Greg
Laidlaw in missing the remainder of the tournament but, even with
injuries, Scotland may have enough skill and finesse to cause Wales
problems. Lack of muscle, and experience, in the scrum is an obvious
cause for concern for Scotland, but we’ll see.
Selection: Scotland to win
outright (11/10 with bet 365)
