Introduced by Cliff Morgan
After their dramatic last-minute draw with the Springboks this is the first match in which Wales will be defending the Triple Crown title and the International Championship.
Playing at Cardiff Arms Park is always worth three points for Wales - Scotland have won only once at this famous ground since 1926. If they win today it will give them a chance to go on for the Triple Crown, a title they have not won in 32 years.

Danger - Women at Work! warns Shirley Conran in tonight's programme in this series of highly personal films

Can a woman look after her husband, her children, and her job without one of the three suffering? Shirley Conran, designer and journalist, thinks not.
Our man-orientated society, she says, imposes an impossible multiple role on a working mother. This is why so many marriages break up and so many women break down; why the basic institution of marriage itself is going out of fashion for the young.

Among others, Shirley Conran talks to: Mary Quant, Katharine Whitehorn, Drusilla Beyfus, Dame Joan Vickers, Viscount Weymouth and Jackie Stewart

The weekly arts magazine presented by James Mossman

Arthur Dooley, sculptor, Roman Catholic and card-carrying Communist, has recently opened a permanent exhibition of his work in the converted pub in Liverpool where he lives. Next to the Dooleys are paintings by the aggressively left - wing Worker
Artists' Association. '...I think it's up to the artist to bring about change. That's the role of the artist, to be political. I think everything's political.'

The Battle of Shrivings is a new play by Peter Shaffer starring John Gielgud, Patrick Magee, and Wendy Hiller. Constructed on an epic scale, it opened in London on Thursday, directed by Peter Hall. Peter Shaffer talks about his work and world.
