That is quality from Wales! Just relentless ball retention. Souble digit phases. Started with Lake busting over the gainline through the tight channel, it ends with Adams running onto a flat pass down the left wing – flung quickly by Costelow who is having a great game – as he beats the edge and rounds the corner to score. The extra two points are added and – do not adjust your TV – Wales are comfortably in the lead!
19 min: Nine phases and Wales are within seven metres of the Scottish line. That started with Lake monstering over the gainline. They’re looking good here…
17 min: Costelow lands a lovely raking kick in Scotland’s corner. It’ll be a Scottish throw, but it’s pinned them down there. The exit is good though as White hoofs a tasty box that finds touch over his 22.
Clinical! Off the line-out on the left, Scotland just give it hands. Russell fires the pass, it’s shovelled one, Rees-Zammit is sucked in on defence and by the time it reaches Steyn it’s game over. Credit to Tuipulotu for holding his pass before giving it to Russell on the loop, and to Kinghorn who joined the line and straightened the attack.
Excellent first phase strike play.
