Wales v Scotland

80'

Full-time: Wales 23-26 Scotland

They left it late, but Scotland backed up their win against England last weekend with another, albeit late, win in Cardiff to retain the Doddie Weir Cup.

George Turner’s late try, adding to earlier counters by Kyle Steyn, Finn Russell and Darcy Graham, with three further conversion by Russell, got them over the line.
