20'Wales have an attacking opportunity after Scotland concede a penalty at the ruck. Rhys Webb with a second good run from the base.
16'Scotland look lively on attack, Tim Visser chases through a kick but gives away a penalty for taking Biggar out in the air. Rough call for the hosts if you ask me.
