Keira Bevan kept her nerve to clinch a last-gasp victory for Wales in their opening match in the Women’s Rugby World Cup in Whangarei.
Bevan kicked a penalty on the stroke of full time to seal a 18-15 win moments after Scotland missed their own chance to take the points.
Megan Gaffney powered over to pull the Scots level on 78 minutes but Helen Nelson missed her conversion attempt as the clock went dead.
Instead, play was restarted and after moving within range of the Scotland line, Wales earned a penalty which Bevan coolly kicked from 25 metres.
