Wales v Scotland: heartbreak in Cardiff again (The Offside Line)

Scotland's long losing streak against Wales in Cardiff, which stretches back to 2002, will run for at least another two years.

When Turner conceded another penalty, this time for playing the ball while off his feet, Biggar’ long-range penalty rebounded back off the bar, and Alex Cuthbert was first on the scene to scoop up the loose ball. Had Finn Russell not stuck out a hand to deliberately knock-on as Wales bombarded the Scottish line with just over 10 minutes to go then things may indeed have panned out very differently. The game was not yet eight minutes old. Meanwhile, Wales ride off into the sunset with renewed hope for this Six Nations campaign, which started badly with that heavy defeat in Dublin last week but now offers all sorts of exciting opportunities. And Dan Biggar showed all the composure you get from 100 Test caps worth of experience to nail the drop-goal which decided the match. Let’s not go down the ‘if only’ route.

Wales got their first win of the 2022 Six Nations at home to Scotland where a nail-biting victory saw Wayne Pivac's men bounce back from defeat in Dublin.

They’ve worn it like a club fan would wear the jersey of bitter derby rivals. The Welsh scrum was even better than it was against Ireland, locks Will Rowlands and Adam Beard put in one hell of a shift, but the front row probably trumped them. He made 12 carries, making 53 metres for his team in the process, and completed 10 tackles. He extracted a simply outstanding response characterised by searing commitment and a never-say-die attitude which was evident across the board. Before the game, pressure was increasing on him whether he acknowledges it or not. Regardless of what they do against Italy on Sunday, they are now going to face a Wales team in a fortnight’s time which will surely be a different proposition to the one they might have expected a week ago. The sight of Russell planting a restart to touch on the full was another little reminder that, for all his ability, he continues to have a mistake in him. He was also, as was expected, a nuisance to the Scots at the breakdown. Rugby is a macho sport. Morgan can also reflect on a fine performance. Yet he stood up manfully to the task and will remember this day for the rest of his life. The front five of any rugby team inevitably carries the can in the arm-wrestle stakes, and a week earlier at the Aviva Stadium, they deserved to do so.

Wales suffered a defeat against Ireland last weekend, and a first loss to Scotland in Cardiff for 20 years would deliver their title hopes a knockout blow.

There is plenty of stuff we obviously want to work on, will improve on and we will be better on the weekend." "I am aware that record (against Scotland) exists, but it is not a factor for me or the team. Rowlands added: "It is always a focus for me to try and improve on, and to try and bring a bit of that (physicality) to the team.
