Scotland left it late to deny Wales a first Six Nations victory for three years, edging in front with five minutes to play to seal a 26-23 victory in Cardiff.
A much-improved first-half performance from Wales saw them go in at the break 17-5 ahead courtesy of Rhys Carre and Josh Adams tries, but the second half saw them come under far more pressure.
Finn Russell, Darcy Graham and George Turner scored second-half tries for Scotland, following Kyle Steyn’s effort in the opening 40, as Gregor Townsend’s charges fought back for a vital victory.
