Ex-Scotland captain claims referee was influenced in Wales win as he pinpoints the moment it all started to go wrong for Scots

The Principality Stadium hosted a sell-out Six Nations crowd for the first time in two years on Saturday as Wayne Pivac's side ground out a tight 20-17 win just a week after defeat in Dublin.
