Winger George North is fit for Wales' Six Nations clash with Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday.

"George has trained today and is raring to go," defensive coach Shaun Edwards said.

North missed the 21-16 defeat to England in Cardiff earlier this month after suffering a dead leg during Wales' victory over Italy, with his place being taken by Alex Cuthbert.

"We are looking very healthy all around at the moment," said Edwards.

"We're definitely healthier than we were in the England week. We're selecting from a position of strength."
