Dan Biggar has recovered from his ankle injury and will start at fly-half for Wales’ Six Nations match against Scotland on Saturday.
The Ospreys star was forced off the pitch in the opening exchanges of the 16-16 draw against Ireland in Dublin last Sunday but his recovery means Warren Gatland was able to name an unchanged starting XV.
Clermont centre Jonathan Davies will win his 50th cap in the midfield where he’ll partner Jamie Roberts.
“It’s great to be able to name an unchanged side, with Dan coming through, fit and ready to play,” said Gatland.
“It’s a reward for some players who put in a great shift in Dublin whilst we will be asking a little more of some of the players as well.
“It’s great to see Jonathan reach his 50th cap and continue his impressive international partnership with Jamie in the midfield.
“We were impressed with the impact from the bench last week and that will be just as vital this weekend in what s going to be a tough battle.”
