Scotland Survive Wales Fightback To Secure Second Six Nations Win

Watch Scotland Vs Wales highlights as Scotland held on to secure a 35-29 victory in the Six Nations at Murrayfield.

Scotland scored five tries but had to hold on against an impressive Welsh comeback in an enthralling Six Nations clash at Murrayfield.

Despite controlling much of the game, Scotland looked nervous at the end as Wales roared back but left themselves too much to do to avoid falling to a 16th successive defeat.

Three unanswered scored in the final quarter meant Wales left Edinburgh with two bonus points, but came agonisingly close to earning a famous victory as the Scots faded.

But while Wales threatened to upset the odds, Scotland held out to secure a third straight win over Wales for the first time sine 1991.

Gareth Anscombe’s early penalty had given Wales the lead, but Scotland cruised into a huge lead at half time thanks to tries from Blair Kinghorn, Darcy Graham and a Tom Jordan brace.

Blair Murray did grab one back for Wales, but when Kinghorn scored his second, the Scotland lead was stretched to 27 points early in the second half.

However, instead of kicking on and racking up a cricket score, Scotland faltered, and Wales burst into life.

Tries from Ben Thomas and Teddy Williams cut the gap to 13 points, before Taulupe Faletau’s breathtaking score was ruled out.

Max Llewellyn did then secure a fourth try for Wales, but it was not enough to overturn the result.
