(Reuters) - Wales have a quadruple injury blow ahead of their Six Nations clash with Scotland in Edinburgh on Saturday, with loose-forward Dan Lydiate one of those ruled out for an extended period.

Lydiate injured an anterior cruciate ligament in his knee and has been ruled out of the remainder of the Six Nations after coming off early in the 21-16 victory over Ireland in Cardiff on Sunday, his first test cap since 2018.
