​The action

Friday’s full match replay will tell the tale of Scotland beating Wales for the first time in a decade by way of a 29-13 success at BT Murrayfield.

A strong start from the Welsh saw them take a 13-9 interval lead, thanks to a converted Liam Williams try and two successful penalties from Leigh Halfpenny. Scotland’s first half points came courtesy of three penalty kicks from Finn Russell to ensure that the arrears stood at four points going into the changing rooms.

The hosts turned the tables in the second period and grabbed converted scores from Tommy Seymour and Tim Visser, the latter of which saw Stuart Hogg’s quick hands put Visser over for what would be a 13^th and penultimate international try. Two more penalties for Russell gave the Man of the Match a personal haul of 19 as he put in a flawless kicking display in addition to his usual creative offering.

​After the whistle

Scotland coach Vern Cotter: “I’m really happy for a number of reasons. We set out to win the game but at half-time we weren’t particularly well placed to do that.

“The players adjusted well after the break and I thought we scored a couple of nice tries and transferred pressure back onto Wales. We decided we could influence the outcome if we did a few things. I’m very proud of that response.
