Wales will aim to get their Six Nations campaign back on track this weekend - and there could be a few Wilfried Bony-style dance moves to accompany any victory over Scotland.

The Manchester City striker's goal celebration would probably top any list of the unexpected at Murrayfield on Sunday, but Wales wing Liam Williams might have other ideas.

Williams, who replaces a rested George North against Scotland, has already thrown some Bony-type shapes on the rugby pitch.

His try celebration for the Scarlets against Welsh regional rivals the Ospreys earlier this season drew comparisons with Bony, who Williams knows through the Ivory Coast star's former Swansea team-mate Ashley (Jazz) Richards.

And a repeat performance in Edinburgh cannot be ruled out after a week when Wales faced the music following their dismal 21-16 home defeat against England.

"The first thing is to think of the team and do whatever it takes for them," Williams said. "It's all about working hard, sticking to the game-plan and getting the win.

"If I am lucky enough to get a try, happy days. I may celebrate, I may not - I have to score first. It's international rugby, and tries are not exactly easy to come by."

Williams, 23, posted a picture on Twitter just before Christmas of himself dressed as Bony in Swansea kit for a fancy dress party, including wearing full face paint.

He was criticised in some quarters, though, and Williams subsequently apologised for any offence caused.

"The whole incident was taken out of context," Williams said this week. "Bony was fine with it. Some people were saying I should be sorry for what I'd done, others were saying I shouldn't apologise because I hadn't done anything wrong.

"I just know there's not a racist bone in my body. It was just a laugh, with no malice intended."

With North taken out of the firing line after being concussed in Wales' autumn defeat against world champions New Zealand and then taking two heavy blows to his head during the England game, Williams has a golden chance to shine on Sunday.

He has been consistently outstanding for the Scarlets this term, and after starring in Wales' 12-6 victory over South Africa just under three months ago, many pundits felt he should have been retained to face England, rather than moved to the bench.

"It's huge for me," Williams added. "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."

Williams normally fills the full-back role, rather than wing, for his region, but he said: "It's not massively different.

"I do prefer playing No.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."

Wales have not lost to Scotland during Warren Gatland's coaching reign, beating them seven times in succession.

Scotland last triumphed in 2007, when seven Chris Paterson penalties secured a 21-9 verdict. That defeat was also the last time Wales began a Six Nations campaign by suffering two losses on the bounce, having been beaten by Ireland six days earlier.

"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," Williams 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."
