Wales suffered a gut-wrenching 26-23 Six Nations defeat to Scotland at Principality Stadium, despite leading 20-5 and 23-12. The agony stems from a late collapse, yet the performance offered hope, marking Wales' best display under Steve Tandy. Aaron Wainwright was immense, carrying the ball 22 times, while Sam Costelow excelled after replacing Dan Edwards.

Wales' defense improved significantly, conceding just 26 points compared to 102 in the opening two games, highlighted by locks Dafydd Jenkins and Ben Carter's 22 tackles each. However, concentration lapses, like the Darcy Graham try from a restart, proved costly, and the bench failed to match Scotland's impact. The 57,744 crowd was criticized pre-game, but the electric atmosphere, fueled by Wales' fightback, offered a glimpse of future potential.
