Wales 20-17 Scotland: Dan Biggar’s late drop goal makes visitors pay for Finn Russell’s late sin bin

Wales

Liam Williams

Got an early turnover and put in a fantastic 50 : 22 kick as well as a brave clearance pass from behind his back to Dan Biggar. 8

Alex Cuthbert

Came off his wing a lot but still didn’t see much of the ball despite lots of Wales pressure in the second half. 7

Owen Watkin

His kicking from hand was poor and although he struggled to make any impact in attack he didn’t let much down his channel. 6

Nick Tompkins

Put in a decent shift and strong in defence but never properly tested as he should have been. 6

Louis Rees Zammit

Made a dreadful attempt to stop Darcy Graham from scoring when he was one on one with him. 5

Dan Biggar

Captain courageous who put in a vital kick to the corner near the end before going off injured. 8

Tomos Williams

Made some important clearance kicks and kept his attack moving forward. 7

Wyn Jones

Won an early penalty against the head at the expense of W P Nel and did well at the scrum. 7

Ryan Elias

Superb performance as he first faced Stuart McInally then Gregor Turner when he came on early in the second half as Scotland’s replacement hooker. 7

Tomas Francis

Powered over from a line out drive for his first ever try for Wales in an impressive display. 7

Will Rowlands

Relentless from the start and one of the standout players in the Welsh pack. 7

Adam Beard

Solid in the line out and the most consistent Welsh player on the park. 8

Taine Basham

Lived up to his name with some big bashing tackles in defence. Lucky to not pick up a yellow card for a dangerous tackle on Sam Skinner. 7

Jac Morgan

Made some important hard yards near the end when Wales were trying to run down the clock 7

Ross Moriarty

Started well but run out of puff as the game progressed and no surprise he was taken off.6
