It is a duel between two teams with opposing ambitions and destinies which will take place at the Principality Stadium, this Saturday February 3.

The Leek XV arrives for this new edition of the Six Nations with the ambition of leaving 5th place to which they have subscribed for two years.

Wales-Scotland kicks off on Saturday February 3 at 5:45 p.m. on France 2.
