"Scotland have only won the match directly after beating England twice before in this competition but they added another to the record books thanks to their maverick Finn Russell. Who else could it have been? The fly-half is one of the best in the world and has been the architect of Scotland's biggest victories over the last few years. He was largely quiet in the first 40 minutes, such was Wales's impressive start, but two fast-paced tries either scored or created by Russell set Scotland on the comeback path."
"The victory not only kept Scotland's title hopes alive but it also put them top of the table before France play Italy on Sunday. Although in years to come the history books will just tell the story of a Scotland win, nothing can take away from Wales's revitalised performance. In the first two rounds they were convincingly beaten by England and France but here they had a chance to win right until the last minute."
Scotland overturned a half-time deficit to defeat Wales 26-23, recovering from a strong Welsh start highlighted by wing Josh Adams. Finn Russell produced two rapid tries either scored or created by him that swung momentum and secured the victory. The win preserved Scotland's title hopes and placed them top of the Six Nations table ahead of France v Italy. Wales delivered an improved and revitalised performance after earlier heavy defeats to England and France, remaining competitive until the final moments. Cardiff hosted 70,649 spectators, a marked attendance improvement from the previous week.
