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

In the air

Gilchrist plays the lineout jumper in the air. Penalty kicked into the right corner.

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.
58

Squint throw

Ashman's first throw is squint. Welsh scrum.

Wales knock on and Russell finds touch on our 10. 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.
46

The ball in play for around 3-4 minutes there without going out of play. A few kicks each way and it ends with a Scotland lineout on halfway.

Wales penalty

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

Half time

Our replacement back row comes up with the penalty on halfway! Kicked to just under 10m out on the left.

Ritchie jackals!

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
32

Cynical foul

John sent for a ten minute rest after sticking a leg out to block White's pass while off his feet. Penalty kicked into the right corner.

27

DARCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He returns with a try! Ben White sneaks through the middle and offloads to Jones, who is felled just short. We go right from the next phase and Russell delays the pass to Graham who canters over for his 30th Scotland score. Russell converts. Scotland 21-8 Wales

Wales' first try

A chip over the top from Anscombe and Murray dives on it over the line on the right. Anscombe's conversion goes wide off the post. Scotland 14-8 Wales
22

Another Morgan jackal

A second Morgan jackal in as many minutes ends in another Welsh penalty. It's kicked to just outside our 22.

Slightly controversial one as it looked like side entry, but regardless Wales kick their penalty down to their 10 after the jackal.
19

No brake foot

Dee doesn't keep his brake foot in place and Scotland get the penalty. Kicked down to Wales' 10.
18

No foul play

Nothing doing, we're told. Back for the first scrum after all.

Hoof from Kinghorn

Kinghorn so unlucky missing out on a 50:22 as his punt forward goes out just outside Wales' red zone. The visitors will throw in from there.
12

TJ!!!!

First Scotland try for Tam Jordan! Our lineout is stolen and hacked clear, but Graham runs it back down the right. We then go straight to the left corner where van der Merwe puts Jones through, and he finds his centre partner inside him who runs under the posts. Russell converts. Scotland 14-3 Wales

WINGHORN!!!!!

Blair down the left! 14 phases and then Russell finds Graham who charges left and gives it to Kinghorn, who drags three Welsh defenders over the line in the corner with him. Russell, from the correct mark, converts. Scotland 7-3 Wales
3
