:41:18. > :41:23.teens really having a go in the first half. A gutsy performance by
:41:23. > :41:28.them both. The yellow card was a big factor in the game. They went
:41:28. > :41:37.for the jugular and kept all that right until the end. A great
:41:37. > :41:40.performance from Scotland. It was. The Welsh team did not miss many
