Blair Kinghorn and Duhan van der Merwe are "war ready" to take on Wales as they prepare for their first outing in this Six Nations, according to Scotland captain Sione Tuipulotu.
The British and Irish Lions backs were left out for the round one defeat by Italy - and last weekend's stunning victory over England.
Both have been restored to the starting line-up for Saturday's showdown at the Principality Stadium and Tuipulotu expects them to show exactly what they can do.
"I'm challenging them to do that because we need that," the centre said.
"Obviously [Jamie] Dobie's injury, the way that he played last week, not just last week, but the form that he's been in this year, those boys know they need to come in and fill those shoes and then go up a level like we know they can.
"But I've been really proud of how they've responded, not only to not playing the first two games but how they've trained this week and prepared this week. They look war ready to me.
"And I'm really excited to play with them and smile on the field with them. And I'm really excited for them to put out their best rugby, which I've got a really good feeling they will."
