Good kicking display
NZPA-Reuter Cardiff A magnificent display of penalty kicking by Paul Thorburn earned Wales a 22-15 victory over Scotland in their Five Nations Rugby Union championship match at Cardiff Arms Park yesterday. Thorburn slotted five penalties, including a prodigious effort from 15 metres inside his own half, to help deny the
Scots a third successive victory in Cardiff. Scotland, playing with the wind, took a narrow 12-9 lead at half-time thanks to tries from winger Matt Duncan, Ranker John Jeffrey and fullback Gavin Hastings. Winger Adrian Hadley gave Wales the lead with a try early in the second half then Hastings snatched it back for Scot-
land with his only penalty of the afternoon. Welsh flyhalf Jonathan Davies drop-kicked a goal to give Wales a lead they were never to relinquish as the Scots began to tire and Thorburn’s massive penalty in the seventieth minute, followed by an easier effort five minutes from time, confirmed the home side’s second-half ascendancy.
