A - Welsh five-eighth Dan Biggar has recovered from a left ankle injury to take his place in an unchanged team for Saturday's Six Nations rugby clash with Scotland in Cardiff.
Biggar was hurt in the 16-16 draw at Ireland on Sunday in the opening round.
"It's great to be able to name an unchanged side, with Dan coming through, fit and ready to play," Wales coach Warren Gatland said on Thursday in naming the team.
Centre Jonathan Davies will win his 50th cap. Liam Williams continues at No.15, where he was a last-minute call-up against Ireland after Gareth Anscombe withdrew the day before with a tight hamstring.
Scotland opened their Six Nations campaign with a 15-9 home loss on Saturday to England at Murrayfield.
The Scots have made just one change to their starting XV to face Wales.
Edinburgh centre Matt Scott is ruled out with injury so Saracens' Duncan Taylor takes his slot in the midfield.
"As a team we know we can perform better," Scotland coach Vern Cotter said, "and believe we're capable of making improvements all over the park."
Scotland haven't beaten Wales in Cardiff since 2002.
