Scotland are chasing another piece of history having made it back-to-back wins at Twickenham with their 29-23 win over England. Gregor Townsend’s side are now seeking to win their first two games in the tournament for the first time.
You have to go back 27 years to the old Five Nations for the last time they opened the championship with two victories.
Wales have beaten Scotland in the past two years and in 2021, Wayne Pivac’s side went to Murrayfield and won a week after the Scots had toppled England at Twickenham.
Last season, Biggar and company triumphed in Cardiff seven days on from Gregor Townsend’s side retaining the Calcutta Cup, with the Wales fly-half kicking the winning drop-goal.
So Scotland will be hoping it is third time lucky as they aim to win their opening two Six Nations games for a first time in the tournament’s 23-year history.
“We will have to see how they go on Saturday, see if they can back it up. The pressure is all on them, they are red-hot favourites,” said Biggar, who has seen wins from his nine games against Scotland.
Wales head coach Warren Gatland has an even better record with 11 wins and no defeats to date against the Scots. The question is, can he make it a dozen?
“I think our record is as good as anyone’s in this competition over the previous 10 years or so. Medals are important when you look back at your career, and we have been lucky enough to fill the cabinet a few times,” added Biggar.
“It is a really difficult ask for us at Murrayfield, but I think this country and this group of boys tend to respond well to having our backs are against the wall. We have got to come out fighting.
“Scotland are a fantastic team at the minute. They are playing with confidence and have lots of good players – they will fancy their chances.
“It was the same last year after we got off to a really slow start in Ireland. We then played Scotland, rolled our up our sleeves and did a job.”
