Wales vs Scotland on Saturday, February 3, is perhaps the toughest to call of the opening round of Six Nations 2024 fixtures. The Welsh need to replace a number of retired stars, while Scotland are desperate to atone for what proved to be a disappointed Rugby World Cup last fall. This one could go either way
Wales vs Scotland in the Six Nations 2024 is airing for free in the U.K., on BBC One, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website. Don’t worry if you’re abroad right now, because you can watch Wales vs Scotland live streams from anywhere with a VPN.
In 12 months, Wales have gone from having one of the most experienced sides in world rugby to a roster of callow youngsters. Alun Wyn Jones, Leigh Halfpenny and Dan Biggar have all departed the international scene, with 118-cap back George North missing the start of what will be a 14th Six Nations through injury. Throw in stellar winger Louis Rees-Zammit’s decision to switch rugby for the NFL and Warren Gatland is on the rebuild. Dafydd Jenkins is central to it and Wales’ youngest skipper, at 21, since Gareth Edwards.
Scotland may now have to contemplate a future without Stuart Hogg after the buccaneering full-back’s own retirement, but there’s plenty to like about Gregor Townsend’s side. Natural replacement in the 15 jersey Blair Kinghorn is injured along with new captain Rory Darge, but Finn Russell is a fine fly-half playmaker and will be sole skipper. They’ve threatened a title tilt before, can they finally come good?
