Wales press conference live: Injury and selection latest as Gatland considers changes

Wales face the media this lunchtime after 72 hours of poring over what went so badly wrong against Ireland in the opening quarter of Saturday's Six Nations opener.

A fitness update is expected, with Tomas Francis due to undergo a scan on a calf injury and Leigh Halfpenny hoping to recover from the back spasm that saw him pulled from the team last week. Alun Wyn Jones is definitely out as he follows HIA return to play protocols.

Wales face a buoyant Scotland team at Murrayfield after their win over England on the opening weekend put them in real contention for the Championship.

Both squads are set to name their matchday 23s on Thursday as things stand.

You can follow live updates below. The press conference is scheduled for 12.30pm.
