Scotland v Wales Match Reports

Scotland scored five tries to earn a 35-7 bonus-point victory over Wales at BT Murrayfield. Finn Russell kicked Scotland into an early lead with two penalties, before George Turner added a try for the home side. Turner was then sin-binned for a dangerous tackle on George North, and Wales took advantage as Ken Owens was bundled over for a try. The first half ended 13-7 in Scotland's favour. After the break, Scotland extended their lead when Russell supplied a brilliant offload for Kyle Steyn to score in the corner. Full-back Liam Williams was then sin-binned for repeated infringements by Wales at the ruck. Russell took advantage of the extra space and delivered a perfect crossfield kick for Steyn to score his second try in the corner. Blair Kinghorn got Scotland's fourth try in the 71st minute to secure a bonus-point and put the match beyond Wales. Matt Fagerson added a fifth try in the final minutes as the Scots celebrated a big win. A selection of match reports is listed below:
