Wales head coach Ioan Cunningham has made one personnel and two positional switches for Saturday's second Six Nations game in Scotland.

Sioned Harries is the one new face from the five-try win over Ireland, coming in at number eight.

Bethan Lewis switches to blindside flanker to make way for Harries.

"This team deserves the opportunity to build on the performance against Ireland for what we know will be a tough challenge away in Scotland," said Cunningham.

"While it was one of the best performances we have produced as a team in Cardiff there are plenty of areas to improve on. We have worked on those facets all week.

"We have been forced into one change due to Gwen Crabb's injury and the coaches, players and staff are all incredibly disappointed for her after she worked so hard to get back on the field.

"Gwen will get all the support she needs from us and I know she will be back."
