Wales v Scotland: Six Nations rugby union – as it happened

about 15 hours ago

Sarah Rendell’s report has landed so I’ll get out of here.Credit to her for making sense of that.A quick trade secret, most match reports are written with 10 minutes left on the clock.So any change at the death can be a nightmare.The fact that Sarah filed this on time, and with more than a degree of coherence, is a testament to her skills!Thanks for joining me.

Commiserations to Wales.Congrats to Scotland.What a day of Six Nations action!I’m sure this isn’t entirely satisfactory, but surely Welsh fans must be delighted that a Test involving their boys was a proper contest.It’s been too long.More from Sam Warburton on the Beeb:double quotation markI’m proud of that.

A lot of people didn’t give Wales a chance before the game.They had to believe because any comeback, any rebuild has to start with belief.Even though on the scoreboard it says they lost, they’ll go back knowing on another day they could’ve won.They’ll be gutted they didn’t get the win, but it was an enormous improvement.It was so pleasing to see this stadium with an atmosphere.

Heartbreaking for Wales.Jamie Jones is looking for answers:double quotation markWhy, when Wales have just scored a penalty does the ball boy/ girl / they run on and place the ball on the centres spot for Scotland to take a quick kick off? Give your own team some time Guarantee this doesn’t happen in New Zealand or South Africa Notwithstanding wales should have defended the kick off betterNot sure we can point the finger at the ball boy/girl.Surely it’s Welsh sloppiness at fault?Scotland are top of the table.They have 11 points – thanks to this bonus point win – after three games.But France, who play Italy tomorrow, have 10 from two.

Here’s player of the matc, Rory Darge:double quotation markWhat a massive win for us,Any time you go on the road in the Six Nations you have your work cut out for you,Just delighted with the character we showed,Credit to Wales,We knew they’d come out swinging.

It was a tough, tough fixture.We were coming up second best in the collisions.That is on us.We can’t stress how tough.Wales were.

It was a tough game.There was no hangover from last week.It’s hard getting on the road.It was hard to wrestle back and we’re massively proud of the boys.Genuinely gutted for Wales.

I have no skin in the game.I’m not Welsh.I’m not Scottish.I’m not even European.But I must admit I wanted Wales to win that.

“As a Welshman I’m proud of that,” says Sam Warburton.Fair play.They gave a proper fight.It all came down to that lapse for the Graham try when they simply switched off on the hour mark.Russell misses but Scotland win!They trailed until the 75th minute.

But Scotland snatched victory at the death,Wales gave it their all but couldn’t hold on,What a game,80 min: Russell will take aim at the poles,Even if he misses Scotland will win the game.

As long as he clears the dead ball line, Scotland will win the game.79 min: Scotland win the line-out on half way but Wales don’t compete.Why would they not compete for the ball at this stage? Scotland get the maul on and win a penalty.That is surely the game.Oh, how heartbreaking for Wales.

77 min: Scotland win the scrum penalty against Wales’ ball! The Scottish pack celebrate like they’ve just won the Six Nations.Perhaps they’ve just won the game.76 min: This ain’t over.Scotland spill the restart.Wales have the scrum inside Scotland’s 22.

A drop goal would tie it.Wales surely want the win.Scotland maul over! Wales don’t compete in the air and opt to set themselves against the maul.But once the Scotts got the first shove, they were always on.Fagerson and a few backs joined the party and it was inevitable.

Russell slots the conversion and for the first time in the game, Scotland are in front.74 min: Penalty again for Scotland.In fact they had three in that sequence.Wales are holding on by the skin of their teeth.Russell nudges this to the corner.

Wales keep hammering their tackles as Scotland keep hammering the line.It’s so tense.My goodness, this is in the balance.OK, deep breath.Line-out for Scotland five out on the right as they look at it.

72 min: Scotland make a mess of their line-out and Wales come away with the ball! They then clean it up and hoof it long,They survive! Scotland will have the ball inside Welsh territory, but 40 metres back,71 min: Steyn take a great grab under pressure,Horne lifts it high but Wales come away with it,Rees-Zammit has it until he’s eaten by Tuipulotu.

Wales then give away the penalty on the floor as Rees-Zammit tried to play it.Huge impact from the Scottish skipper.Russell has the ball in his hands.No doubt, he kicks toi the corner and pretty much nails it.Five metre line-out coming up.

Can Wales hold them out?69 min: Scotland get a good rumble off the maul on halfway from the line-out.Jordan, on the park, makes ground after contact.Russell takes the hit and finds Bayliss (he’s been good).But Wales get the penalty! There’s a neck roll from Tuipulotu as he went to clean Smith.The Welshman was over the ball so I think he would have won the ball anyway, but the Scottish skipper was too keen, too aggressive and that’s a let off for t Wales who can clear from the edge of their own 22.

Time running out for Scotland.67 min: Another penalty on the floor for Wales.Scotland have coughed up 11 in the match.Oh no! They’re reversing this.Williams in trouble as he croc-rolled Darge off the ball.

It’s a little meek, if you ask me.But that’s the call.So rather than Wales nailing an easy three points, Scotland have an exit from their own patch.Harsh, I reckon.But I don’t get a vote.

64 min: Penalty for Wales on the floor! Botham again,Was he off his feet,Perhaps, bit Scotland’s cleaners left their feet,No matter, we have Welsh throw on Scotland’s 22,63 min: This game is breaking apart! It’s utter chaos.

Horne launches a counter after gathering a lovely inside pass from Tuipulotu.He’s motoring upfield before he’s cut down from Evans.That is some one-on-one tackle.That madness ends with a Werlsh line-out on their 22 and they go for a methodical exit.Williams hoofs a long box that finds touch on halfway.

A shout for the Welsh 9.He’s shown composure throughout this contest.60 min: Relief for Wales as they get a penalty in their own half.Russell has the Scottish backline purring.He sparks a move down the right and Jones kicks a chi[.

Possibly the wrong option as he had Steyn to his right.Williams gathered and was put under pressure, but exuberance from the Scots over the ball handed Wales the penalty.What has just happened! The only two people awake the danger was Russell – who kicked into space from the restart – and Graham – who ran onto the bouncing ball.Wales were napping.Where was the defence in the backfield? Oh my word, that is so poor from Wales but credit to Russell who was Johnny on the spot

Nvidia reportedly plans to invest $30bn in OpenAI’s next funding round

Nvidia, the world’s most valuable company, is reportedly planning to invest $30bn (£22bn) in OpenAI’s next funding round, after a $100bn deal between the two dissolved earlier this month.The maker of ChatGPT is expected to be valued at $730bn in the funding round, almost twice the valuation of Anthropic, one of its main rivals, which raised $30bn earlier this month.Nvidia’s announcement of a $100bn investment in OpenAI last September drove the chipmaker’s stock to more than $5tn and led to fervent discussion about circular deals between the largest players in artificial intelligence.The investment, which the chipmaker framed as a “letter of intent”, would have involved Nvidia giving OpenAI money to buy and deploy its chips for its AI infrastructure.That all appeared to change earlier this month, when reports surfaced that Nvidia’s intent was never a firm commitment – and OpenAI was looking elsewhere for chips to power its systems

West Virginia sues Apple over child sex abuse material stored and shared on iCloud

West Virginia’s attorney general filed a lawsuit on Thursday accusing Apple of allowing its iCloud service to become a vehicle for distributing child sexual abuse material.The state alleges that the company facilitated the spread of child sexual abuse material by declining to deploy tools that scan photos and videos and detect such material in iCloud users’ collections.JB McCuskey, a Republican, accused Apple of prioritizing user privacy over child safety. His office called the case the first of its kind by a government agency over the distribution of child sexual abuse material on Apple’s data storage platform.“These images are a permanent record of a child’s trauma, and that child is revictimized every time the material is shared or viewed,” McCuskey said in the statement

Skiers stranded by California avalanche used iPhone SOS feature to seek help

California’s deadliest avalanche killed at least eight people in a ski group near Lake Tahoe on Tuesday. The six survivors used the iPhone’s emergency SOS feature to help first responders find them as they waited under a tarp and discovered some of the bodies, according to the Nevada county sheriff. Apple’s feature, introduced in 2022, allows users to text law enforcement, even if there’s no cell service or wifi by connecting the phone to a satellite.First responders reached the skiers’ location and learned of the six survivors based on conversations held through the feature, Sheriff Shannan Moon said at a press conference on Wednesday.California office of emergency services law enforcement chief Don O’Keefe said his staff spoke with one of the stranded guides for more than four hours to relay information to the sheriff’s office, which was leading rescue efforts
