Wales take the win

It’s a 34-22 win for Wales in Edinburgh.

The game will restart with seven seconds left.

Final change

Skeldon comes off for the dying seconds, and Jodie Rettie will take her place.

After a succession of carries, Wales are awarded the penalty five metres out in front of the posts. They opt for the three points, giving them a five point lead with seven to go.

Double change

Coreen Grant and Lyndsay O’Donnell come off, and Liz Musgrove and Eva Donaldson come on.

Wales go close but knock it on

Again, it’s phase after phase of direct rugby from Wales. They get up to our five metre line, but there’s a knock on.

Scotland will attack from deep as we look to salvage the game.

More excellent counter rucking!

Wales’ attack is thwarted again, as the Scots pile into a ruck and cause havoc. We’re then awarded the penalty as Wales use their hands in the ruck.

We’ll attack from just inside Wales’ half.

SHE’S ON A ROLL-IE!

Two tries in two games for Chloe Rollie!

After Orr’s half-break on the right, the ball is worked out to Rollie on the left, who sprints past a first defender and dances around a second!

Further change

Scotland have a scrum on their own 22.

Before that, Leah Bartlett will be replaced by Anne Young.

Penalty the other way

From the first phase, Scotland concede a turnover penalty of their own.

Wales kick to Scotland’s 10 this time.

Double change

Mattinson and Belisle make way, and Mairi McDonald and Elliann Clarke come on to replace them.

Orr Blimey!

Wales attack up the left, but Emma Orr shows the backs can win jackal penalties too! It’s very stop-start just now.

Scotland kick just inside Wales’ half, but lose it at the lineout.

High tackle

Scotland attack from left to right, with Emma Orr getting outside the defender. Her pass to Grant goes out, but we’ll come back for a high tackle on Chloe Rollie on the left.

Scotland kick to Wales’ 22.

Another steal from Evie!

Another long spell of possession from Wales, but Evie Gallagher gets right in there at a ruck and wins another turnover penalty!

Bonus point for Wales

Wales go through the phases, making metres through the forwards. They get right up to the line, and Tuipulotu gets a second from close range.

Penalty for Scotland

Line breaks from Belisle and Louise McMillan get Scotland deep into Welsh territory.

They’ll have the penalty for a high tackle as well, which is kicked to the corner.

Scrum time

The attack from Scotland doesn’t quite work out, but they’ll have the put in at a scrum ten metres out.

OUR WISHES ARE GRANT-ED!

It’s a first Scotland try for Coreen Grant!

Smith takes the ball from the scrum in midfield, and gives it to Nelson. Grant was sprinting in from the right hand side, and took the ball at full speed to run under the posts.

Nudge from Nelson

Scotland’s other five points game from the boot of Helen Nelson, who slotted a penalty and conversion.

Loud Lana

Scotland defend valiantly, but Pyrs is over again.

Turnover

Strong carries up to the line, but Wales win the turnover penalty and kick to their 22.

Back underway!

COME ON SCOTLAND!!!

Half time

The lineout is knocked on, and that brings an end to an exciting first half.

McGhie-in it laldy!

A break through the middle from McGhie! We’re within five metres…

Sinclair back on

Rachel McLachlan can’t continue, and Eilidh Sinclair comes back on for her.

Three from the tee!

Second try for Wales?

The lineout leads to a maul, which gets close. After some pick and goes from the forwards, Harries goes over.

But we’re looking at a potential offside in the last phase…

A Skel-full steal!

Another jackal penalty for Scotland! This time it’s Lana Skeldon who is first to the breakdown and too strong for Wales!

Scotland kick into Wales’ half.

No try!

Harries is adjudged to have been in front of the ball when she grabbed it out of the ruck, and Scotland will have the penalty.

As the crowds blows a sigh of relief, Scotland exit to just inside their 10m line.

Scrum for the hosts

Scotland have had plenty of ball so far, but are yet to really break through the Welsh defence.

After a few half-breaks, Wales turn the ball over, but they knock it on and Scotland will have the scrum on their own 22.

Penalty for either side
