Six Nations: Darge thrilled with stunning Scotland turnaround against Wales

Rory Darge expressed his delight after Scotland's brilliant turnaround victory against Wales at the Principality Stadium.

Scotland found themselves 17-5 down at half-time following tries from Rhys Carre and Josh Adams, but Kyle Stern kept the visitors in the Six Nations contest.

Second-half scores from Finn Russell, Darcy Graham and George Turner then sealed a stunning 26-23 win.

It is the first time in 99 years that Scotland have won four consecutive games against Wales, who have now lost their last 14 Tests in the Six Nations.

Wales also lost a Home/Five/Six Nations match in which they led by 10+ points after 40 minutes for the first time.

Darge, who was named player of the match, told BBC One: "I'm delighted. That's a massive win for us.

"It's a hard place to come and get a victory. Any time you go on the road in the Six Nations you know you're going to have your work cut out.

"Delighted with the character to come through in the end. Fair play to Wales, they came out swinging and it was a tough fixture.

"When the boys up front do our job, we know we've got the backs that can cause teams issues. We're coming up second best in collisions. Part of that is on us and part of that is on Wales.

"It's hard to get wins on the road and that was a gritty one. It's hard to wrestle back 17-5 down and we did that. I'm massively proud of everyone."

The win moved Scotland to the top of the Six Nations table ahead of France's clash with Italy on Sunday.

Scotland face France next weekend in what could be a title-deciding clash at Murrayfield.
