Scotland see off Wales to finish fifth in Women's Six Nations
By PA
Scotland claimed a 27-20 play-off victory over Wales at Scotstoun to clinch fifth place in the Women’s Six Nations.
Both sides lost their two pool fixtures to land in this battle to avoid the wooden spoon, with Wales conceding 98 points across matches against France and Ireland without scoring a single one themselves.
Scotland – beaten by England and Italy in the group stage – opened up a 17-6 half-time lead in Glasgow thanks to tries from Megan Gaffney, Megan Kennedy and Christine Belisle, while Robyn Wilkins kicked the visitors’ first points of the championship.
Lisa Neumann touched down early in the second half as Wales closed the gap to four points, but an Evie Gallagher score and the kicking of captain Helen Nelson – who finished the match with seven points – saw Scotland re-establish their cushion.
Wales ended their disappointing campaign on a positive note as Caitlin Lewis went over with the clock in the red and Wilkins took her tally to 10 points from the tee, but it was Scotland who came away with the win.

Paddy T is playing the best footy of his career off the bench, and he’s a leader.
Straight swap: Paddy in for Scott, Scott to the bench.
But I’m loving Tuipolotu as an impact sub.
Go to commentsWhats that team then? Are Clarke or Tele'a likely to come back? Proctor didn't return to the squad did he?
I'd like see the young fullbacks play fullback, and so Jordan cover on the wing instead. Even seeing Reiks on the other wing would be cool, Reece can go back on the bench if theres even room for him there.
So preferably it would be ALB and second five where he came of the bench in the weekend and was great. He's a bit slow on the play for outside center but looks like he might need to play there if we need wingers.
Cane really sounds like he'll bit fit, is he going to want to play? I'd really like to see Kirifi earn a cap if Lakai was the only 7 (Ardie has to be all used up/finished for the year). Which young lock are we going to see come in?
No team lists here, that's kid games...
