Scotland 17- 8 Wales

Worryingly for Wales, Scotland’s off-field troubles have appeared to galvanise them.

They are playing with more tempo, intent and are completely deserving of their lead.

Wales are looking a little sluggish off the line and allowing Scotland’s powerful backs to run at them, which they will happily do all afternoon.

It’s so important they don’t concede again this half or it will be a steep mountain to climb.
