Scotland continued their bid for the Six Nations Triple Crown as they came from behind to beat Wales in a thrilling game at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday.
Gregor Townsend’s side put in a strong second-half showing to pip a feisty Wales side 26-23 to back up last week’s win over England.
That win at Murrayfield means they’re on track to complete their first Triple Crown since 1990 if they beat Ireland in Dublin in the final round of the tournament.
Steve Tandy and Wales will be wondering how they lost that match, having led all the way until the 74th minute.
It was a heartbreaking finish for the Welsh who came into the match as massive underdogs having already been smashed by both England and France and looking for their first Six Nations win in three years.
Prop Rhys Carre and wing Josh Adams crossed to give Wales a 17-5 half-time lead. A try from Scotland wing Kyle Steyn kept the visitors in touch before scores from flyhalf Finn Russell, replacement wing Darcy Graham and replacement hooker George Turner sealed a second-half Scotland comeback.
