Wales vs Scotland players ratings as the men in red bounced back to win the Doddie Weir Cup 20-17 in Cardiff.
Dan Biggar kicked 15 points in his 100th international to guide Wales to victory at the Principality Stadium.
It proved a captivating contest in Cardiff as Wales bounced back from the disappointment of an opening Six Nations weekend defeat against Ireland.
Scotland had celebrated a Calcutta Cup victory against England, but their 20-year record of not winning in Cardiff continues.
Biggar give the hosts an early lead with a pair of penalties, but Darcy Graham's try and two Finn Russell three-pointer gave the visitors an 11-5 lead.
The two fly-halves then exchanged a penalty apiece before powerhouse prop Tomas Francis' try levelled the scores at 14-14 at half-time.
Biggar and Russell exchanged kicks once again after the restart, but after the latter was sin binned for a deliberate knock-on, the Welshman slotted a drop-goal to win the game.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
