Russell’s Restart Triggers Graham’s Decisive Try as Scotland Edge Wales 26–23

Recently used off the bench, Darcy Graham says the score lifted a tough spell.

Overview

  • Scotland won 26–23 in Cardiff, turning the match soon after Jarrod Evans stretched Wales’ lead to 23–12 just before the hour.
  • Finn Russell spotted space with Gabriel Hamer-Webb slow to retreat and, after an exchanged nod, drilled a kick-off restart that Graham chased and finished off a favorable bounce.
  • Graham’s touchdown was his 35th Test try, drawing him level with Duhan van der Merwe atop Scotland’s all-time list.
  • Graham described recent weeks as challenging as a frequent substitute, saying the role has fueled his drive to reclaim a start while acknowledging Kyle Steyn’s form.
  • Next up is France at Murrayfield on March 7, and Scotland also have a July 18 Nations Championship fixture with Fiji at Murrayfield designated as a Fiji home game.
