That really was a classic match.

Spectacular tries from legendary players, iconic commentary from the great Bill McLaren and a topsy-turvy encounter between two fine sides played at a relentless pace.

Wales went on to beat Ireland in their next match to claim the Triple Crown but their hopes of a Grand Slam were dashed with an agonising 10-9 defeat at home to France on the final weekend.

Wales were still crowned Five Nations champions, though that loss in Cardiff rather took the shine off the achievement.

For Scotland, meanwhile, defeat by Wales ruined their aspirations of winning the championship but a year later they provided a legion of players for the British and Irish Lions’ victorious tour of Australia.

With that talent at their disposal, no wonder the Scots’ meeting with Wales served up such a feast of enterprising rugby.

We hope you enjoyed reliving the action as much as we did, and we hope you can join us for our next trip down memory lane.

Until then, stay safe and take care.

There may be a sense watching this game that Wales could be building towards something special, but professional rugby league contracts were soon to lure many key players away from union.

Adrian Hadley, Rowland Phillips, Dai Young, Paul Moriarty and Jonathan Davies all made the move north.

Fly-half Davies, speaking on Radio Wales Sport, said: "I've never been scared to make big decisions.

"That was maybe the biggest decision of my life.

"Having come from Trimsaran, my father had passed away when I was very young, security was first and foremost on my mind.

"But in hindsight, yes, maybe I should have stayed a bit longer and gone to Australia with the Lions."

Jonathan Davies, who by his own admission had not excelled at the 1987 World Cup, felt his position was under threat going into this Five Nations Championship.

But after impressing against England, he backed it up with a superb performance at home against Scotland, capped by that virtuoso solo try in the first half.

"People have often asked me what I was thinking at the time but you don’t think, you just play what’s in front of you," said Davies.

"I couldn’t run through, so I kicked through. Then it was a race for the ball and once I saw who I was up against I knew I was going to get there.

"A couple of things in life happened to make people aware of me and that was certainly one of them. It had a huge impact on my life."

That's the most magnificent game I've seen for a long time.

It was a fascinating battle. The Scottish forwards were in the ascendancy in the first half, yet in the second the Welsh kept coming back at them.

At the end of the day, it was the extra pace of the Welsh backs and how Wales were prepared to use them.

Scotland must be very disappointed indeed to score 20 points down here and end up on the losing side.

A magnificent battle. A great game of rugby.

Wales steal possession from the scrum, shift the ball to the backs and Mark Ring is on hand to boot the ball into touch.

Scotland are not done yet. They still believe they can win this.

Their flankers lead the charge once more, with John Jeffrey and Finlay Calder carrying powerfully.

But Wales defend stoically and force a scrum, albeit for Scotland inside the home 22.

Which one Stephen, which one?!

Some people are on the pitch - they think it's all over...

No, don't worry, we've not switched to a rerun of the 1966 football World Cup final - there are pitch invaders at the National Stadium in Cardiff.

Jonathan Davies urges the supporters to get off the field and they oblige.

We're into added time now.

Into the final minute of normal time and surely Wales have won it now!

Robert Norster, who's had an excellent game, steals a Scottish lineout and flicks it to Robert Jones, who passes to Jonathan Davies.

The Wales fly-half takes a step and connects perfectly with a drop-goal from 30 metres or more.

What a fabulous performance this has been from Davies.

Wales have a lineout inside Scotland's 22 but they lose possession.

Scotland then fail to clear properly, with Andrew Ker just hoofing it into the air midway inside his own half.

Wales captain Bleddyn Bowen tries to put Scotland on the back foot again with a low kick but he puts it straight into touch.

A comedy of errors but the clock is on Wales' side.

Scotland are really under the pump here.

Three successive scrums five metres out from their own try line and a hearts-in-mouths moment as the ball squirms out and Gavin Hastings is tackled into the dead-ball area by Robert Jones.

Can Wales get the clinching score?

Wales are on the charge now and looking to kill this game off.

Captain Bleddyn Bowen speeds into the Scottish half and a swift exchange of passes between Welsh backs and forwards alike takes them into the opposition 22.

Scrum-half Robert Jones then darts forward, as does hooker Ian Watkins, before the move eventually breaks down with a knock-on and everyone has a chance to catch their breath.

Scintillating rugby.

The crowd inside the National Stadium in Cardiff has been in fine voice all afternoon.

We've had 'Hymns and Arias' and now 'Bread of Heaven' is getting a wonderful rendition, belted out at full volume and in perfect harmony from all corners of the ground.

Watch this kick.

It was a little bit inebriated but it made it!

They all count.

Wales are back in front, and it's thanks to that magician wearing 10, Jonathan Davies.

Second rows Robert Norster and Phil May combine well at a lineout to get the ball to Robert Jones, who delivers a fine pass to Davies.

Scottish bodies hurl themselves desperately at the fly-half in an attempt to charge down his kick, but his low drop-goal evades them all and glides just over the crossbar to prompt jubilant celebrations in Cardiff.

Now Wales have a chance to apply pressure once again.

Hooker Ian Watkins does well to secure possession on the floor, and Wales then work the ball out to the left wing.

Adrian Hadley runs out of road and keeps play alive by chipping ahead, and the covering Scotland full-back Gavin Hastings is ushered into touch to give Wales a lineout inside the visitors' 22.

Scotland are still in the Welsh 22. They've had two scrums and they're looking threatening.

But then Finlay Calder knocks-on as he is tackled and Wales have a scrum.

The hosts are then awarded a penalty from that scrum, and Paul Thorburn blasts the ball into the Scotland half.

Wales survive.
