    Scotland captain Finn Russell admits complacency almost cost them in their Six Nations opener against Wales

    Scotland captain Finn Russell admits complacency almost cost them in their Six Nations opener against Wales


    Leading 27-nil early in the second half - the visiting Scots conceded four unanswered tries as the home side almost pulled off the unlikeliest of comebacks.

    After Scotland eventually held on for a 27-26 win - Russell offered this assessment of a wild second half.



    England earlier pipped Italy 27-24 in Rome.

    Meanwhile - the Crusaders have been edged 21-19 by Irish side Munster.
