The 4.45pm kick-off at BT Murrayfield will be shown live in the UK on BBC TV, with Graham in line to win his fourth cap.

The Falcons No 8 played the final 20 minutes of last Saturday’s Calcutta Cup victory over England, Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend saying: “We have an opportunity this weekend against Wales to continue the positive start.

“It was a very encouraging performance at Twickenham and the squad performed to a level which has to be the benchmark throughout the tournament. Wales are also coming into this game after a win and will have the same objective, so it will be a tough challenge as always.”
