Rugby World Cup: Dramatic moment Wales score last-gasp penalty to beat Scotland

Wales secured a dramatic 18-15 victory against Scotland in the Rugby World Cup group stage.

Wales and Scotland, both in Pool A, were playing their first match of the tournament, which is currently taking place in New Zealand.

The two sides met at the Semenoff Stadium in Whangārei, with the 3,225 fans in attendance treated to a thrilling encounter.

Wales led 15-5 at the break but were pegged back by their opponents in the second-half, with Scotland bringing the score back to 15-15.

To make matters worse, Wales had to close out the last 15 minutes of the match with 14 players, after both Cara Hope and Jasmine Joyce were sent off.

Scotland came close to victory when Megan Gaffney drew her team level with a 78th-minute try, but Helen Nelson missed the resulting conversion kick.

This would come back to haunt the Scottish, who then conceded a last-minute penalty. Welsh scrum-half Keira Bevan stepped up to take the kick, keeping her cool to give her side the win.

The 84th-minute penalty was shortly followed by the final whistle and jubilant celebrations from the Welsh players.

Scotland now face an uphill battle to reach the quarter-finals. New Zealand and Australia are the favourites to progress from Pool A, but there is also a route to the knockout stages for the two best third-place teams.
