Wales beat Scotland 40-18 at Biggar RFC to go one step further to winning the U16 Four Nations title for the third season in a row.
 
The Welsh, coached by Paul Berry, go top of the U16 Four Nations table with that win, following England’s draw with Ireland, meaning a draw against the English in a fortnight will be enough to give Wales their third successive Four Nations title.
 
Just over two minutes had gone when Matthew Clatworthy raced through the centre to score Wales’ first try, converting it himself.
 
Scotland were soon level. Conor McGuiness made a darting run through the Welsh line and Ton Glover converted.
 
But from kick-off, Elis Thomas scored for Wales to give them the lead back. Clatworthy converted again.
 
Then, five minutes before half-time, Evan Williams was put through and he out-ran his markers to score. Clatworthy’s goal put the half-time score onto 18-6.
 
A long run from Harry Wrigglesworth extended Wales’ lead early in the second half. Clatworthy converted again.
 
But almost immediately, McGuinness raced away to score his and Scotland’s second try, again improved by Glover.
 
Wales continued to extend their lead, with tries from Tyler Mills, then Thomas again, the latter converted by Clatworthy.
 
But straight from kick-off again, Scotland got through, Will Barber getting a try back with Glover converting.
 
The last say went to Wales, Charlie Eatly scoring his side’s seventh try just before the end, Clatworthy adding the goal.
