Description

Tries from Rhys Carre and Josh Adams combined with Sam Costelow’s excellent kicking had given the hosts a well-earned 12-point lead at the break. But three scores in the second 40 minutes from Finn Russell, Darcy Graham and George Turner turned the game on its head to give Scotland their second win of this year’s Championship and keep their hunt for a first title since 2000 alive. Wales build momentum early on Once the rousing renditions of the national anthems concluded, in which the home fans’ efforts when singing Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau brough captain Dewi Lake to tears, a fierce Celtic clash ensued. Scotland went close early on through Duhan van der Merwe, Huw Jones and Kyle Steyn but it was Wales, down to 14 after Joe Hawkins’ sin bin for a high tackle on Gregor Brown, who took the lead after nine minutes when Carre crashed over. Costelow added the extras, but the visitors responded to Wales’ early blow through Steyn who had the simplest of walk-in tries in the corner after Scotland whipped the ball quickly from the left to right. But just four minutes later, Wales extended their lead from two to nine points as Josh Adams' excellent early performance was rewarded with his second score of this year’s Guinness Men's Six Nations. The wing dotted down in the corner after Costelow's brilliant kick got Wales upfield before Eddie James, Carre and Alex Mann played instrumental roles in the build-up. Costelow’s penalty gave Wales a 17-5 lead at the break, only their third half-time advantage at home in their last 18 attempts and their first under Stave Tandy, before the fly-half added a further three points eight minutes into the second half. Trailing by more than two converted scores, Scotland had a gilt-edged chance to reduce their arrears, but Jones inexplicably failed to collect Van der Merwe's pass. Scotland flip the script But Gregor Townsend’s side remained undeterred and following a mammoth 27 phases, Finn Russell exploited Louis Rees-Zammit’s rush out from his defensive line and dived over. Jarrod Evans, on for Costelow, notched up Wales’ third penalty of the match but the contest truly roared back into life moments later as the hosts were caught napping from the resulting kick-off. Russell’s deep restart was collected, via a helpful bounce over the head of James Botham, by the ultra-aware Graham who had been on the field less than four minutes. Scotland’s talismanic No. 10 slotted the conversion to bring Scotland within four points with the score reading 23-19. Two crucial moments failed to go the way of Wales as they looked to relieve the pressure Scotland were mounting on them, but Evans’ kick was just out of Rees-Zammit’s grasp before referee Matthew Carley reversed the penalty originally going to the hosts after Tomos Williams was penalised for a croc roll on Rory Darge. And with six minutes left, Scotland completed their comeback and broke Welsh hearts as Turner was able to fall over the line from the back of maul following a driving lineout. Russell again added the two and despite missing from the tee late on, Scotland held on to secure back-to-back wins.
