Scotland were left disappointed yesterday as they were defeated 20-17 by Wales – an eleventh successive loss in Cardiff as they continue their 20-year record without a win in the Welsh capital.

Scotland wing Darcy Graham and Wales prop Tomas Francis scored tries while Dan Biggar and Finn Russell kicked penalties as the first half ended all square.

There were no second-half tries for either side, however Biggar sealed the win for Wales with a late drop-goal after Russell received a 68th-minute yellow card for a deliberate knock-on.
