Wales won their first match in this season’s RBS Six Nations championship in the most dramatic fashion, finishing 31-24 winners in Cardiff.
Shane Williams was the man who scored the match winning try in injury time against a 13 man defence after two Scottish sin binnings in the final ten minutes.
Last week it was Wales who were ruing ill discipline, this week it will be Scotland boss Andy Robinson who will be cursing his players after they coughed up 17 points in the final ten minutes to lose a match the seemed destined to win.
