Six Nations: Wales 23 Scotland 26Scotland stayed on course for a first Triple Crown since 1990 with a pulsating 26-23 comeback Guinness Six Nations victory against winless Wales in Cardiff. Russell added three conversions as Scotland backed up their Murrayfield victory over England. Rhys Carre and Josh Adams plus seven points from the boot of Sam Costelow gave Wales a 17-5 interval lead. Costelow converted but Wales lost flanker Taine Plumtree to a shoulder injury and Scotland were soon baring their attacking teeth again. Replacement fly-half Jarrod Evans' first involvement was to extend Wales' lead with a penalty, but Scotland struck straight from the kick-off.
