Venue : Murrayfield, Edinburgh
Scotland throw open the doors of Murrayfield for the first time in 2011 this weekend and welcome a Wales side desperate to end a demoralising winless streak.
As performances in defeat go, Scotland's effort in their Six Nations opener against France last weekend was uplifting and their tally of three tries will have been a further boost after several barren seasons on that front.
The 34-21 defeat at the Stade de France saw Scotland showcase fire in defence and a greater fluency in attack, two factors that spell danger for Wales, whose 26-19 loss to England sent them further along the spiral into mediocrity.
Time is running out for Warren Gatland to turn things around before the Rugby World Cup, with his long-term contract now in focus for all the wrong reasons. The same cannot be said for his opposite number, Andy Robinson, who this week agreed a deal through to 2015 with the Scottish Rugby Union.
