Kelly Brown expects "toughest challenge" from Wales

Scotland captain Kelly Brown has claimed that Wales will provide his team with their toughest challenge of this year's Six Nations at Murrayfield on Saturday.

The hosts will start the match with two consecutive wins under their belts thanks to triumphs against Italy and Ireland respectively.

"I would say it will be our toughest challenge in the championship so far but as a sportsman you want to be challenged by the top teams and there is no doubt Wales are one of those," Brown is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"Everyone in the squad is very grounded. There is no doubt we take a lot of confidence from the last two wins but we know the performances were far from perfect.

"We have looked at those and identified the things we need to improve. We have been working hard to make sure that, when we take the field on Saturday, we are as well prepared as we possibly can be."

Defending champions Wales have won two and lost one of their first three matches in this year's tournament.
