- Scotland 24-25 Wales
- Lead changes five times in classic; Scots’ Fagerson sent off
Mercy. If you’re lucky, you’re reading this because you want to relive this match rather than because you missed it. It was a nail-biting, lung-busting, heart-pumping contest. In the end it was settled by a single point, 25-24 to Wales, after the lead had see-sawed back-and-forth. There were seven tries, two of them by Wales’s dazzling young winger Louis Rees-Zammit, who won the man of the match, as well as a red card for Zander Fagerson, who caught Wyn Jones in the head with his shoulder at a clear-out midway through the second half. Even then, down to 14 men, Scotland gave it everything they had and but for a tap-tackle on Duhan van der Merwe in the final few seconds could well have won the game.
