Wales made it two wins from two in the Women's Six Nations with a stunning second-half comeback against Scotland.

In front of a record crowd, Scotland dominated the first half of the match.

Rhona Lloyd and Lana Skeldon both scored two tries.

But Wales came back with scores from CarysPhillips, Sioned Harries, and Ffion Lewis.

The Wales bench proved to be the catalyst for victory, just as it had been in Dublin.

The result means Wales celebrate back-to-back Six Nations wins for the first time since 2015, while Scotland are still waiting for their first victory in Wales.

The Women's Six Nations game at the Arms Park had a record attendance of 4,875, with fans treated to a Test of the highest drama.

  • Wales v Scotland - as it happened

The Scots came to ruin the party, having put their opening-round thumping against England behind them.

They had all the possession and territory in the first half, and were ahead after just three minutes after kicking their first penalty.

The ball was taken cleanly by returning lock Sarah Bonar before being driven over the line for Skeldon to score on her 50th cap. The extras were added by Helen Nelson.

Wales spent the opening quarter camped in their own half, not up to their Dublin standards.

Nelson kicked their penalties to touch, but the Welsh defence kept them at bay.

Elinor Snowsill's cross-field kick gave the crowd something to cheer as Wales slowly grew into the game.

The driving line-out was held up just short of the line by the pressure, which resulted in a penalty kick by Snowsill.

After they were done,Phillips continued her impressive try- scoring record, having crossed six times in Wales in the past three outings.

The scrum-half was successful in her attempt.

They continued to give up penalty after penalty.

Scotland won the battle of the breakdown and looked sharp in attack, with their recent two-week camp in Dubai paying dividends.

Their second try came when Nelson put through a chip which was mis-read by Joyce and Kayleigh Powell and bounced kindly for Lloyd to touch down.

Wales looked certain to concede a third try before the break with Scotland having a clear overlap, but there was a hint of white-line fever.

The hosts continued to live dangerously and were dealt a blow on the stroke of half-time as centre Kerin Lake was shown a yellow card for not rolling away in the tackle.

Lloyd shrugged off tackles to cross in the corner immediately after the break.

Natalia John left the field with a bloodied nose after Harries was introduced.

The number eight made an immediate impact by winning a turnover and then scoring a try from the base of the ruck after Hannah Jones took a break.

As Cunningham rung the changes, the momentum swung in Wales' favor.

The crowd went crazy when Wales won an attacking scrum.

The loose-head prop was shown a yellow card for collapsing as the set piece came under severe pressure.

Replacement hooker Jones scored the try after Wales kicked for touch and their driving line-out.

The score remained at 19-19 and Snowsill was short with the conversion.

The winning score was decided in the final five minutes.

The player of the round last weekend was Alisha Butchers, who made a clean break and found replacement scrum-half Lewis in support to run in the try.

Scotland threw everything at Wales in the dying seconds, but the defence held firm to claim the bonus point.
