Wales back Liam Williams has spoken of his excitement ahead of his first match of the 2015 Six Nations against Scotland at Murrayfield this weekend.

Wales, who are looking to bounce back from a home defeat to England in their opening match of the tournament, have opted to include Williams on the wing in place of George North, who was concussed during last Friday's defeat at the Millennium Stadium.

The 23-year-old is looking forward to the challenge, despite not being able to feature in his favoured full-back role.

"It's huge for me. Hopefully, I will go out there and do a job. Having played a couple of games in the Six Nations last year and been picked on the bench last week, I am really looking forward to starting against Scotland," he told reporters.

"I do prefer playing number 15, but I would play flanker, or even hooker, for Wales if it meant getting a game. I am just happy to be in the team. Hopefully, I'll go out and have a good game.

"I haven't played for Wales at Murrayfield, but I have been there with the Scarlets. The stadium is huge. It wasn't exactly packed when we faced Edinburgh, but hopefully it will be rammed on Sunday."

Williams also gave an insight into Wales's proposed gameplan for the match, hinting that they would look to keep the ball in hand more often than they did against England.

"We kicked the ball a lot against England. This week, we are going to try to play a bit more and get me, Leigh Halfpenny and Alex Cuthbert on the ball," he added.

"I think the key is holding on to the ball, going through the phases and trying to create. Ideally, we want to bring about situations where we have high numbers - our backs - against low numbers - their forwards.

"If we can create mismatches, hopefully the backs will score some tries. That's the plan, anyway, with Leigh kicking his goals."

Wales have never lost to Scotland under Warren Gatland, last tasting defeat in this fixture back in 2007.
