Wales 23-26 Scotland

Finn Russell scores 11 points in second-half turnaround

Scotland pulled off a dramatic comeback win against Wales to back up their impressive Calcutta Cup success the previous week.

Hosts Wales had the lead at half-time thanks to a spark lit by the wing Josh Adams but the visitors managed to fight their way to victory with a feeling they were lucky to come away with five points.

Scotland have only won the match directly after a win over rivals England twice before in this competition but they added another to the record books thanks to their maverick Finn Russell. Who else would it have been? The fly-half is one of the best in the world and has been the architect of Scotland’s biggest victories over the last few years. He was largely quiet in the first 40, such was Wales’ impressive start, but two fast paced tries either scored or created by Russell set Scotland on the comeback path.
