Six Nations 2021: Scotland 24-25 Wales

After claiming a first win at Twickenham in 38 years by beating England 11-6 on the opening weekend, Scotland stormed ahead with tries from Darcy Graham and Stuart Hogg on Saturday.

Rees-Zammit went over before half-time and set up Liam Williams to haul Wales back into the game, and they took the lead when Wyn Jones touched down after Zander Fagerson saw red.

Hogg put Scotland back in front despite their numerical disadvantage but a stunning solo effort from Rees-Zammit saw Wales follow up their win over 14-man Ireland last week with another success.

Scotland only conceded six penalties against England but had half that amount inside six minutes, with Leigh Halfpenny splitting the posts after the third.

Finn Russell restored parity and added the extras after Ali Price chipped the ball over the Wales defence for Darcy Graham to dot down in the 18th minute.

The hosts increased their advantage when Halfpenny spilled Hogg's kick over the top and the Scotland full-back took it over the line, but Rees-Zammit reduced the arrears before half-time.

Halfpenny sat out the second half due to a failed HIA and, after Gary Graham had a try ruled out for obstruction, Williams went over in the left corner.

Scotland were reduced to 14 men when Fagerson was dismissed for catching Jones on the head at the breakdown, and the Wales prop made them pay by scoring a third try.

The hosts responded with a sustained spell of pressure in front of the posts that culminated in Hogg evading Owen Watkin and Nick Tompkins to cross.

However, Rees-Zammit showed incredible pace to chase down his own kick and score the decisive points with 10 minutes remaining.

Scotland looked destined to claim back-to-back Six Nations wins over Wales for the first time since 2003, but Rees-Zammit consigned them to defeat.

Along with scoring the decisive try he produced a brilliant clearing kick after Hogg stumbled following a late line break, while Watkin's tap tackle on Duhan van der Merwe with the clock in the red also played a pivotal role in sealing the win for the visitors.

Hogg did everything he could to lead Scotland to victory, with his second try of the game moving him onto 22 in Test rugby.

That broke a tie for fourth with Tommy Seymour (20) and moved him level with Chris Paterson in third on the all-time list. Only Ian Smith and Tony Stanger (24) lie ahead of Hogg.

22 - Stuart Hogg now has 22 Test tries, only Ian Smith and Tony Stanger (both 24) have more; he's scored twice in a game for Scotland for the first time since 2017 (v Ireland). Update. https://t.co/A4UAL04K3h
