A Finn Russell-inspired Scotland earned a record home win against Wales to continue a stunning start to their Six Nations.
Two Russell penalties and a converted George Turner try saw Gregor Townsend’s side race into a 13-0 lead, before Wales hit back through Ken Owens.
Kyle Steyn crossed twice in the second half, before Blair Kinghorn’s superb score and Matt Fagerson’s late try guaranteed Scotland end their Warren Gatland hoodoo.
