2021 Guinness Six Nations Scotland v Wales

The 2021 Guinness Six Nations Scotland v Wales fixture is Scotland’s opening fixture at BT Murrayfield.

Scotland and Wales have played each other 125 times since 1883, with Wales winning 73 matches, Scotland winning 49 matches and three matches drawn.

Since 2018 the winners of a Scotland and Wales match will receive the Doddie Weir Cup. The cup was created to bring awareness to motor neurone disease. Former Scotland international lock Doddie Weir was diagnosed with the illness in 2017 and the cup is named in his honour.

The last time the two sides met was during the 2019 Six Nations Championship where Wales came with the spoils after an attritional battle at Murrayfield.

Wales looked well in control as they went into the break 15-6 up after a dominant first-half performance resulting in Josh Adams and Jonathan Davies scoring tries.

However, Scotland responded well in the second half and starved Wales of any ball as they applied tremendous attacking pressure onto their visitors.

Scotland captain Stuart McInally spoke to the BBC after the game stating: “We’re obviously massively disappointed with that,” he said. “We had a chance to win the game and weren’t quite accurate enough. We got a massive lift when Darcy Graham scored but they’re (Wales are) an excellent side and they’ve got a great defence. We just couldn’t break it down on this occasion.”

The 2020 Six Nations game between the two teams scheduled for 14th March 2020 had to be postponed at short notice due to the rapid spread of the pandemic coronavirus. All remaining 6 Nations fixtures have been postponed to a later date TBC.
