Scotland returned to winning ways in the Six Nations as they secured a comfortable 35-29 bonus-point victory over Wales at Murrayfield.

Gregor Townsend’s charges came into the contest after defeats to Ireland at home and England at Twickenham – the second an agonising one-point defeat – but their attack was far more fluent facing Wales.

Full-back Blair Kinghorn, centre Tom Jordan (two) and wing Darcy Graham each scored first-half tries, as Wales could only respond with one through full-back Blair Murray – visiting tighthead WillGriff John was also sin-binned for repeat team penalties.

Into the second period, Kinghorn scored again to take Scotland beyond 30 points, and though Wales responded via Ben Thomas and Teddy Williams tries, they were still left well adrift by the final play when centre Max Llewellyn scored to move them closer on the scoreboard than they were in actuality.

Scotland – Tries: Kinghorn (5, 48), Jordan (11, 33), Graham (27). Cons: Russell (6, 12, 28, 34, 49).

Wales – Tries: Murray (24), Thomas (61), Williams (68), Llewellyn (80+4). Cons: Evans (62, 69, 84). Pens: Anscombe (3).

Kinghorn: We now want to spoil France’s party!

Player of the Match Kinghorn told BBC Sport…

“It was really good. We know we should have won last week so we wanted to get some revenge for ourselves and we did that today.

“I just want to say thank you to the fans who came out to support us.

“It is going to be a massive game over there (vs France). They are going to be going for the Championship so we are going to try to spoil the party.

“It will be a great game.”
