FT

Sour end

Scotland flatter to deceive in the second half, and that good feeling at half time has largely evaporated. But a win is a win, five more points.

More will be required in Paris next week. We’ll see you then.

80

Llewellyn gets two BPs with last play

Llewellyn crashes over with the last play. Conversion good.

It ends Scotland 35-29 Wales

80

Offside

Scotland knocking on the door, but then knock on and Roberts charges up the left.

Sutherland then gathers a loose ball and thinks he’s ended the game when he kicks it out, but he’s deemed offside.

Wales kick the penalty into the left corner.

80

Held up again!

This time it’s Sutherland held up over the line!

Wales goal line dropout again as the clock nears the red.

79

Another chance goes

Lineout stolen, Wales clear and then Jordan finds a gap and is felled just short, but Sutherland knocks on.

But we’re going back for a well-spotted Welsh knock on prior.

77

No try

Colin Jackson would be proud of that hurdling from Murray. Scotland penalty for jumping out of a tackle.

Penalty kicked to Wales’ 22.

77

Wales score a worldie?

Murray breaks from his own 22 and finds Faletau in the left corner to finish it off. But did Murray jump over a tackle? The TMO will review.

74

Unlucky Shuggy

Jones half-clear down the right but he spills it at the crucial moment.

Wales scrum just outside their 22 on their left flank.

73

Held up

Around 15 phases spent on Wales’ line with the forwards after Horne broke through, but it’s eventually held up as the backs fume that they didn’t see the ball.

Goal line dropout for Wales.

69

Third Wales score

Replacement Teddy Williams reaches over and dots down. Conversion good.

Scotland 35-22 Wales

Triple change

Schoeman, Zander and Russell replaced by Rory Sutherland, Will Hurd and Stafford McDowall.

61

Wales in for a second

Wales break down the left then two phases later Thomas has acres of space just right of the posts. Conversion good.

Scotland 35-15 Wales

59

Unlucky from Kinghorn

Blair chips over the top and wins the race, but can’t cleanly gather it. Welsh scrum on their 10, which then becomes a penalty.

They kick down to around 30m from our line.

Squint throw

Ashman’s first throw is squint. Welsh scrum.

White and Cherry come off, and George Horne and Ewan Ashman enter proceedings.

54

Offside

With penalty advantage, Wales kick into our left corner and van der Merwe just about wins the race back to dot it down and save the try.

Back for the offside penalty, which is kicked into the left corner.

52

Ritchie jackal again!

He’s found a rich vein of form in this tournament, another jackal for Ritchie in a fixture that means so much to him with it’s links to Doddie Weir.

We kick the penalty to Wales’ 22.

49

KING BLAIRHORN!

A second today for a second Scot!

The 12-man maul is just about repelled, and then the space opens up in midfield for Russell to take his time and find Kinghorn next to him on the perfect line to canter under the posts. Russell still flawless from the tee.

Scotland 35-8 Wales

47

Playing the ball on the ground

We kick ahead and then Wales use their hands on the ground as they’re stressed at the ruck.

We kick into the left corner.

Wales penalty

Jackals galore today. This time Wales win the penalty and kick it to our 10.

A couple of phases and we kick, then Ritchie makes the jackal on halfway and is rewarded with the penalty.

Kicked to around 15m from Wales’ line on our left wing.

33

TWO-J!

Tom Jordan in again!

We cough up possession after the lineout, but Wales attempt to play from their 22 and it’s a comedy of errors. A slightly overhit crossfield kick that Murray is forced to blindly throw back infield, and Thomas couldn’t gather it Jordan was there to hack it over the line and dive on it. Russell still 100% from the tee.

Scotland 28-8 Wales

Cynical foul

Kicked down to Wales’ 10.

18

TJ!!!!
