Wales (8) 29
Tries: Murray, Thomas, Williams, Llewellyn Pens: Anscombe Cons: Evans 3
Five-try Scotland overcame a hugely spirited Wales in a frenetic Six Nations contest at Murrayfield, condemning the visitors to a 16th defeat in a row.
The Scots looked at ease for large parts of the game, only for Wales to threaten a jaw-dropping comeback late on and ensure they at least left with some reward.
In the last 18 minutes, the visitors scored three unanswered tries - all converted - to turn a cakewalk into a struggle for the Scots, whose edge blunted incredibly in the second half.
The big comeback never materialised, though, and Scotland won a third Six Nations game in a row against Wales for the first time since 1991.
Wales did, at least, get a couple of bonus points for their troubles.
