Scotland survive late Wales comeback in Cardiff

Wales wing Nel Metcalfe was making her Six Nations debut

Scotland survived a late Wales comeback to secure a first Women's Six Nations victory on Welsh soil in 20 years.

Scotland led thanks to tries from Coreen Grant and Rhona Lloyd, while Sisilia Tuipulotu crossed to get Wales back in the game.

But there was to be no late heartbreak for Scotland this year as they extend their winning streak to seven matches.

Wales are now winless in four with a daunting away trip to England to come in round two.

More to follow.
