苏格兰将在对阵威尔士的吉尼斯六国揭幕战中保持公国体育场屋顶开放。 Scotland will keep the Principality Stadium roof open during their Guinness Six Nations opener against Wales. 这一决定是在威尔士主教练沃伦·加特兰的批评下做出的，他表示开放式屋顶会影响可容纳 74,500 人的体育场内的气氛和噪音。 The decision was made amid criticism from Wales head coach Warren Gatland, who said the open roof would affect the atmosphere and noise inside the 74,500-capacity stadium. 苏格兰主教练格雷戈尔​​·汤森德为这一决定进行了辩护，表示他更喜欢在屋顶打开的情况下比赛。 Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend defended the decision, stating that he preferred to play with the roof open.
