Six Nations 2022: Wales 20-17 Scotland - Biggar guides Wales to tense win in Cardiff

Captain Dan Biggar kicked 15 points in his 100th international to guide Wales to victory against Scotland.

Biggar sealed the win with a late drop-goal after opposite number Finn Russell had received a 68th-minute yellow card for a deliberate knock-on.

Scotland wing Darcy Graham and Wales prop Tomas Francis exchanged tries with Biggar and Russell's boot ensuring it was 14-14 at half-time.

There were no second half tries but Biggar's intervention clinched the win.

It proved a captivating contest in Cardiff as Wales bounced back from the disappointment of an opening Six Nations weekend defeat against Ireland.

It was a vastly improved performance from Wayne Pivac's side as they regained the physicality missing in the Dublin defeat, typified by hooker Ryan Elias being named man-of-the-match.

Scotland had celebrated a Calcutta Cup victory against England, but their 20-year record of not winning in Cardiff continues.

Gregor Townsend's side had won away at Twickenham and Stade de France last season, but those stadiums were empty, unlike the raucous reception they received at the home of Welsh rugby.

Stuart Hogg's side had won in Llanelli in October 2020 in front of a empty stadium after the match had been postponed in March that year because of Covid-19.

That major victory on the road in front of capacity crowds remains elusive.

Wales coach Pivac got his tactics and changes right as he gave a debut to Ospreys flanker Jac Morgan, while Ross Moriarty was also recalled in the back row alongside Taine Basham.

Centre Owen Watkin replaced the injured Josh Adams, while wing Alex Cuthbert made a first Six Nations appearance in five years in place of Johnny McNicholl on the wing.

Scotland made five changes with injured flanker Jamie Ritchie ruled
