PHIL Davies has kept faith with the Wales Under-20 side beaten by England last week for the home clash with Scotland in Cardiff on Friday (7.10).

The only enforced change in the starting line-up sees lock James King — ruled out of the rest of the Championship after sustaining a knee injury against England — replaced by Ospreys team-mate Lloyd Peers.

Dragons flanker Rhys Jenkins moves onto the bench along with prop Rhodri Jones and Scarlets fly-half Steve Shingler.

Davies said: "We need to build on the performance we produced in the first half against England and play strongly for 80 minutes.

"We lost narrowly to Scotland last season but a lot of our players would have taken a lot from that game and progressed a great deal in the past year."

Wales: D. Fish (Blues); J. Loxton (Blues), O. Williams (Blues), S. Williams (Scarlets), K. Phillips (Ospreys); M. Jarvis (Ospreys), R. Downes (Blues); Dan Watchurst (capt, Dragons), R. Williams (Blues), S. Gardiner (Scarlets), M. Cook (Blues), L. Peers (Ospreys), J. Thomas (Dragons), J. Navidi (Blues), M. Allen (Pontypool). Reps: I. Davies (Glam Wand), R. Jones (Scarlets), T. Faletau (Dragons), R. Jenkins (Dragons), G. Davies (Scarlets), S. Shingler (Scarlets), M. Pewtner (Dragons).
