Experienced lock Alun Wyn Jones has been left out of the Wales match-day 23 to face Scotland in their Six Nations clash at Murrayfield on Saturday as head coach Warren Gatland says they are"looking to the future".
Jenkins will partner Adam Beard in the second row, while prop Wyn Jones has returned from injury having missed the autumn internationals. He will pack down alongside Dillon Lewis and hooker Ken Owens. "We've made some changes but tried to keep some continuity with the same backline," Gatland said in a media release from Welsh Rugby."Wyn has been working really hard in the last three weeks in camp and he gets an opportunity.
The backline stays the same with the impressive centre Joe Hawkins and wing Rio Dyer given another run.
