LONDON (Reuters) - Returning winger George North is the only change to the Wales starting line-up as they seek to get back to winning ways in the Six Nations against Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday.

North missed the last-gasp 21-16 defeat at home to England on Feb. 11 but has recovered from a dead leg and will replace Alex Cuthbert in a back three that also includes winger Liam Williams and full-back Leigh Halfpenny.
