Fullback Blair Kinghorn and centre Tom Jordan have scored two tries apiece as Scotland claimed a frenetic 35-29 bonus-point Six Nations victory over Wales at Murrayfield to inflict a record-extending 16th loss in a row on the visitors.
Scotland keep their slim championship hopes alive with the five-try victory on Saturday as they move to 11 points from their four games, five points behind leaders France, who they face in Paris on March 15.
Wing Darcy Graham also crossed for the home side, who were superb in the first half to build a 28-8 lead, but the game became scrappy and loose in the second period and Scotland were unable to find the same continuity.
Wales scored four tries via fullback Blair Murray, centres Ben Thomas and Max Llewellyn, and lock Teddy Williams, and will rue some naive play in the opening half that preceded a much improved performance in the second from a Welsh side being looked after by interim coach Matt Sherratt.
