But the former fly-half has warned his team to beware a dangerous Scottish outfit who have beaten both Italy and France in the Guinness Six Nations to date.
The meeting between the two sides at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on Saturday is the only Championship game taking place this weekend.
England’s visit to Italy and the meeting between Ireland and France have both been postponed due to the global spread of Coronavirus.
“We understand what is going on and we’re just a small part in it. It’s sport, at the end of the day. It doesn’t compare to what’s going on in the world,” said Jenkins.
“As a rugby person I want to play and we want to win. We’ve lost our last three games and we’re trying to make amends for that at home.
“I’ve been involved against Scotland for a long time. We had a tough game at Murrayfield in the Grand Slam last year and I remember speaking to Shaun Edwards after our match with France and he said that was our most difficult game.
“Obviously France found that on Sunday when Scotland turned them over. They’re a tough and physical side, but they also play some good rugby and they have exciting backs who can light up any occasion at any time, especially with Stuart Hogg at full-back.
“We have to focus on ourselves and if we do the right things, play our game and take our chances, I’ve no doubt we’ll win on Saturday.”
After defeats by Ireland, France and England, Wales are looking to bounce back against a Scottish side who they have a good recent record with.
Of the last 18 clashes between the two sides – dating back to 2003 – Wales have lost just two and both of those defeats came in Edinburgh.
The last time Scotland won a Six Nations game in Cardiff was in 2002.
“We’re trying to be a bit more clinical,” Jenkins said.
“We scored 30 points against England, but conversely we’re conceding soft points. That’s been an area for us in the last three games which we have to clear up.
“You can’t afford to give away 14 points a Test match. We’re making silly errors in our game and some poor decisions at key points.”
Jenkins confirmed Scarlets lock Jake Ball won’t face Scotland and is set to miss the rest of the season with a shoulder injury suffered against England.
