North returns for Wales

Wales winger George North has been passed fit to start against Scotland in Edinburgh this Saturday.

North was a late withdrawal from the Welsh team that lost 21-16 to England in their last Six Nations encounter, but returns to replace Alex Cuthbert in the only change to that starting lineup.

There is also only a solitary change on the bench, where lock Luke Charteris replaces Cory Hill.

Wales – 15 Leigh Halfpenny, 14 George North, 13 Jonathan Davies, 12 Scott Williams, 11 Liam Williams, 10 Dan Biggar, 9 Rhys Webb, 8 Ross Moriarty, 7 Justin Tipuric, 6 Sam Warburton, 5 Alun Wyn Jones (c), 4 Jake Ball, 3 Tomas Francis, 2 Ken Owens, 1 Rob Evans.
Subs: 16 Scott Baldwin, 17 Nicky Smith, 18 Samson Lee, 19 Luke Charteris, 20 Taulupe Faletau, 21 Gareth Davies, 22 Sam Davies, 23 Jamie Roberts.
