Wales Wing Josh Adams Sidelined for Scotland Clash

Wales wing Josh Adams has been ruled out of the upcoming Six Nations match against Scotland due to a hamstring injury. The 29-year-old Cardiff wing missed the previous game against Ireland and has not recovered in time for this weekend's fixture at Murrayfield.

Gareth Anscombe Returns to the Squad

On a positive note, Gloucester fly-half Gareth Anscombe has been cleared to play after recovering from a head injury sustained during the Ireland match. "Gareth is fine and good to go," said Wales scrum coach Adam Jones. "It's good to have him back with his leadership and experience."

Dewi Lake Eyes Comeback

Ospreys hooker Dewi Lake is also in contention for a return after missing the first three Six Nations games due to an arm injury. Lake, who captained Wales during the summer tour of Australia, has been out of the tournament since 2022. "Dewi has been excellent and it is good to have him back," Jones added.

Scrummaging Success and Team Dynamics

Wales' scrum has shown significant improvement under the guidance of scrum coach Adam Jones. Props Nicky Smith and WillGriff John delivered strong performances against Ireland. "Nicky has been good for us. He's always been a strong player, and I'm glad to have him here," Jones remarked. He also praised WillGriff John, who made his first Six Nations appearance in over three years.

Looking Ahead to the British and Irish Lions Tour

Jones believes that strong performances in the Six Nations could boost players' chances of being selected for the British and Irish Lions tour to Australia this summer. "Anyone who plays well in the Six Nations has a chance to tour in the summer," he said.
