Wales go into a winner-takes-all match against England next month in the final round of the U18 Four Nations Championship after beating Scotland 34-20 in a thriller at Grangemouth RUFC.
 
There were less than ten minutes on the clock when Alex Richardson scored a try to give Wales the lead and Kyson Rees added the conversion.
 
Scotland hit back on 15 minutes thanks to a Harrison Goldthorpe try. Shaun Callan converted to level the scores.
 
It wasn’t long before Wales regained the lead through an unconverted Evan Rowlands try, but Scotland went into the break 14-10 to the good due to tries from Harry Woodard and Max Erasmus.
 
Unfortunately for Wales, errors were costing them and Scotland capitalised. They increased their lead 10 minutes into the second half through an Isaac Maclean try that Callan converted.
 
But then two back-to-back tries from Wales turned the game around. First from Dan Wilds with Jack Wilcox converting before scoring a try of his own from kick-off. Gabrielson kicked the goal and Wales were 22-20 up.
 
Then with eight minutes to go, an Ethan Williams try increased Wales’ lead to 26-20. Gabrielson couldn’t convert so Wales were just one score ahead in the dying stages of the match.
 
And with the crowd cheering both sides along, it was Wales who sealed the game thanks to an excellent try from Oscar Jones just three minutes from the end, quickly followed up by Richardson’s second and Wales’ seventh as the final whistle blew.
 
Gary Dunn’s side will now face England in Widnes on Saturday 12th July as part of a double header with the U16s sides.
