EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS Record breaking result Scotland v Wales 2023 Guinness Six Nations

First catch there from Liam Williams. Yeah, Wales great rugby fan Max Boyce wrote a song in honour of the Pontypool front row. Remember those, the dynamic trio became legends of the game during Welsh rugby's 1970s heyday. We lost one of them this week. Charlie Faulkner as we knew him. Tony Faulkner actually really has re-established himself as a Scotland starter. And here's the powerful drive. Crosby putting his shoulder to it, out there to Tupelo. To the short pass, Hugh Jones was straight onto it. He's in space, he needs some support. He takes on Liam Williams, he's got up to the 22. That's another player enjoying a rebirth of his career. Russell with a pinpoint kick, flipped inside. That was magnificent. The support runners are there. Wales have come offside. Missing out Crosby. The floated pass, over the head that time of Jones. In comes Hogg. The ball's gone loose. Well just for a moment. That midfield partnership, cutting the Wales defence to ribbons. Look at that from Tupelo too. One or two question marks about whether it might just have been a little bit forward. Perhaps another angle might tell us more about that, that you had to admire the running line. The running line was fantastic and it was sold in the eyes of Tupelo too. He looked behind the runner. So the defence read that as if the ball was going to go behind his back, but it didn't. Against England in the Calcutta Cup. Led to a try from Sean Maitland. That time, the break from Jones is worth three. Well it is formally a head injury assessment for Hogg. The way out there from Turner, making the scrum half stretch for that one. There's Xander Ferguson. Penalty advantage to the Scots. Virtually straight in front, 25-26 metres out. Come clearly away from the tackle. That'll be frustrating for the Welsh management. Penalties were a real issue for Wales last week against Ireland. Gave Ireland easy ins, and when Ireland are as formidable as we know they are, that was certainly not the thing that Wales wanted to do, and it's not the thing they're going to want to be giving away to Scotland. Scotland have already got the three, so we're looking for a not rolling away there. You can see Tommy Revel over the ball here. Show me clear at least seven before back on the ball. That's what he's got his selection for, to try and get that ball back. At least slow the breakdown. The second penalty conceded by Wales. And for the second time, it may well cost them points. Easily done. Scotland leading by six points to nil. It has been a confident start. Crosby getting involved in that drive. And it's George Turner who bursts away. A metre or so inside Welsh territory. Russell, on there to Turpulatu, just delayed that pass. Release the ball please. Extra roll, seven, jackal fret in position. Turpulatu taking an extra roll. Look, the eyes are wide as if to say, me cub? Yes, you. Quite a telling stat there. More than half of the game has been played roughly where it is now. What will they do with this? Very kickable, almost straight in front. 38, 39 metres out. Dropped a few verbal bombs, but he's pulled that wide. Van Viggen with a little glint in his eye. I said that he was looking forward to reading the write-ups, and they were quite an interesting read. From the strength of that, perhaps the Scots have had the last laugh. That's three points that got away. It's there with George Turner. In goes Ben White. White, out to Turpulatu. There's Russell. Dyer, came out of the line. There's a space for Steyn. Scrambling defence. Well, it was an awkward moment for Rio Dyer. But he was anxious to atone, and I think he did it. Yes, look at him. He's gambling there, going high. He thought that he had enough time and space to read that massive pass. But good scramble, like you say. He's lucky he's as fast as he is, that he can get on his bike and track across there. Gannon's getting back into position. The catch from Richard Gray. The decibel level rises at Murrayfield. Ben White's doing the steering. Matt Fagerson's been ducked out, but it's Turpulatu. It's now spinning over a little bit. It's only a bit of pushing and shoving. There is a greater issue to resolve here. O'Brien-McNeice. Did George Turner get that down? OK. Chris, come off. Let's listen in, shall we? So I've got initially held up. I'm not sure if he's got ball on the ground. OK, O'Brien, come into here. So initially I've got the ball held up. We just want to check to whether the ball, the tip of the ball is grounded then after that. So just confirm grounding, please. I've got on-field decision, no try. Yeah, on-field decision, no try. We'll check it. There's a side angle that I want you to have a look at. There might be a post script. He appears to have got it down. So it is a try for George Turner. Yeah, so as you can see there on the TMO, initially it was really good work there by Dan Bigger and Thomas Williams getting underneath the ball. But you are allowed one movement, and that is the movement to ground the ball, which George Turner then took and got the ball down. Go back to Scripps' hand up. OK, not to get the ball, not the ball. This is the difference for me. Here's Scotland now this year. Before, they've been bullied. That's what Wales did to them in the last six nations. They went in as underdogs, but they just bullied them up front. For me, the physicality of this Scottish team has really been progressing since the autumns. You know, they've got some good wins under their belt. They've got confidence and they're playing with it. Well, the Scotland defence really is proving very effective, but I think there might be something here. George North. Oh, it's Turner. Still caught him high. He's going down into the tackle, but he's still caught him high. It's not a swinging arm. That's why it's yellow. He's getting a recent run of form again under Warren Gatland. The catch there from Jenkins. One stop. Go, James. Remember, they're one lie to Scotland and it's showing and Andrew Grace down on one knee sees that the try has been scored and it is the captain, Ken Owens. Wales are back into this contest. They're back in and it was badly needed. It's 34 minutes on the clock. They've got six minutes to half-time and you do not want to be going in with a zero on your back. It's only five, but it's an important five. They're capitalising on that. How many times do we see teams that play against 14 that don't come away with any points during that time? You have to be ruthless and take your opportunities and no surprise, they're attacking the forwards because that's where the player's missing. So they're keeping it tight using their strength and physicality. And this contest is coming to the boil. So much at stake. Scotland still down to 14 but they lead Wales at half-time by 13 points to seven. The go to Gilchrist where the referee says it's been taken to ground by Scotland. There it is for Ben White. Scumming like a sprinter in the blocks but he barely got out of them. Turner presents it. Here's White again onto Xander Pegersen. Tackle! No seven! White's got it. Russell's called for it. Russell! And Elstain scores! Murrayfield enraptures. When it was one former South African last week on the other flank, Duen Van der Merwe. It's another this time, Carl Steyn. Beautiful bit of play again. Brooklin Russell, just check out that offload right out the back. We talk about Chris Parson, the 15-20 metres spirals but it's the fact that he's got this in his armour as well that makes him so special. Look at that. He's fallen to the ground and he still has the awareness. He knows where the player is. He knows where the space is. Brilliant. George Turner just for a moment wanted another surge but it's there for Ben White. The cross kick again and Steyn's waiting for it. And Steyn gets his second. And it's there from Scotland. The fullback's in the bin. That means the gap is going to be on the edge. But before Wales have a chance to get up and off that line and try and cover that space, their easiest way is to put a cross field kick in but it's got to be pinpoint accuracy. And of course it is from Scotland. That is such clever play. You know Finn Russell knew that was exactly what he was going to do as soon as he saw Liam Williams leave in the field. Look at that. Talk about the ball doing the work. Ball beat the player. That's exactly what they mean. And as with so many things, Finn Russell makes it look so easy. But that is quite a skill. That really is. And that intuition as well with the wing. Look, he knew it was coming. He was already in the place for it. Turned his body to make sure. There's the cross kick. It's meant for van der Merwe. And van der Merwe steps outside Williams. Inside here to Kinghorn. And Scotland have their fourth try. It'll be five points. It'll be a full house. They'll sit alongside Ireland. Finn Russell is smiling. The rest of the rugby world need to look out because he pulls off things like that. It's the modern kick pass now. Just getting that ball as quickly as possible to a player running onto it. And Finn Russell is one of the pros at executing it. You can certainly tell the Scottish backs are having fun. Look, all the time in the world, Wales need to be putting more pressure on him. But still, great awareness. Great support play. Follow-up play from the Scottish backs. Ensuring that was a try. Liam Williams doing his best to try and go low. But couldn't bring the big man down. Lovely try for Scotland. It's Lupe Faletau trying to get over the ball. And it's Finn Russell. It's over the top. And they get the score. And appropriately, it's one of the workhorses of this Scotland team. Matt Fagerson. Finn Russell taking it to the line. Ensuring the Welsh defence can't come across. Alex Cuthbert caught on his own. He's the only one coming up out of the line there. He can't defend four players. Rhys Webb desperately trying to come across. What a match-up it's going to be against Ireland. Well, the referee just showing a yellow card. And that has been pointed in the direction of Rhys Webb who has yet to leave the pitch before he's hoofed into touch. Scotland have done it. That 27-year wait is over. They have cleared that second hurdle at last. And hell, they did it. For Wales, it has been another humiliation. Final score of Murrayfield. Scotland have thrashed Wales by 35 points to 7.
