Scotland v Wales Match Reports

Scotland survived a fightback as they beat Wales 35-29 in a fast-paced and high-scoring Six Nations contest at Murrayfield. A dominant first-half display from Scotland saw them secure a 4-try bonus-point, with Blair Kinghorn, Tom Jordan (twice) and Darcy Graham all scoring. Blair Murray scored Wales' only try of a difficult first half as the visitors trailed their hosts 28-8 at the break. Kinghorn got his second and his side's fifth try early in the second half as Scotland's dominance initially continued. But as the match entered the final quarter, Wales showed signs of life as tries from Ben Thomas and Teddy Williams cut the deficit to 13-points. Taulupe Faletau then had a try disallowed, before Max Llewellyn crashed over in the last play of the match to give Wales two losing bonus-points as consolation.
