(Reuters) - Wales have made six changes for their Six Nations clash with Scotland on Saturday following last week's loss to England which ended their hopes of a third consecutive crown.

Head coach Warren Gatland has changed both his halves with Dan Biggar replacing Rhys Priestland at flyhalf and Mike Phillips coming in for the injured Rhys Webb, his first start in the number nine jersey since being dropped to the bench after the second round loss to Ireland.
