FT: Scotland 35-29 Wales
A dominant first-half display was enough for Scotland to secure their second win of the 2025 Six Nations, despite Wales' late fightback.
Gregor Townsend's side go to Paris next week looking to spoil France's title charge, while Wales take on England in search of their first Test win since October 2023.

Scotland winger Duhan van der Merwe tells BBC One: "We played very well in the first half and we spoke about coming out and playing even better.
"We made a lot of mistakes in that second half, Wales punished in the set piece. We couldn't win our lineouts, lost a few scrums. A lot of that stuff is on us and unfortunately we weren't good enough in the second half.
"It's easy to go over there and say we have nothing to play for, but we'll have to be better than we were today. They have a lot to play for."

Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend tells BBC One: "Very pleased with the start of the game and how we continued throughout the first half. We did talk at half-time about building on that lead.
"Sometimes it's difficult. The opposition, who are a quality team, can get things right. They got more ball in the second half. Sometimes changes from the bench aren't smooth. We're disappointed with not scoring when we had a couple of chances in the last five minutes, and conceding those tries.
"We've got to make sure we don't give them [France] momentum, any easy opportunities to get on the ball. They're so dangerous off counter attack or if you make an error, they usually score on the back of it. They're very strong in the forwards with their pick-and-go game and set piece.
"They've been outstanding in every game so far in the Six Nations and could have scored a few more at Twickenham. It's our biggest challenge.
"With the learnings we've had this year and how we played to start that game, we can really give it a crack next week."
Jonathan Davies Former Wales international on BBC One
Scotland lost their shape when Finn Russell went off and Wales hung on in there and showed great character.
This is where Wales are at in terms of the losing sequence and it is difficult to win international matches. Scotland were still the better team by far.
Scotland co-captain Finn Russell might have been all smiles when he lifted the Doddie Weir Cup, but he wasn't best pleased with the way his side slumped in the second half...
Victory over Wales 'a funny one' - Ritchiepublished at 18:57 GMT 8 March 2025

Scotland flanker Jamie Ritchie tells BBC One: "It's a funny one, especially when the opposition finish with a try - you feel a bit disappointed.
"Six Nations wins are hard to come by so we're pleased with that but there's lots of improvements for us in our game.
"For 50 minutes, we were very much in control. The last 30 was a bit loose and they had everything to play for. They put us under a bit of pressure.
"There's moments in there where our ill discipline is letting them into the game. Wales are looking to play a lot more rugby and they're able to cut teams apart. That's where they put us under pressure today."

Scotland full-back and player of the match Blair Kinghorn: "It was really good. Playing our last game of the Six Nations at home here in front of our crowd, it's always great to get a win.
"We know we should have won last week so we wanted to come back with revenge for ourselves. We did that today, so very happy.
[On being sick] "I didn't realise I was on the big screen. I'm sure that'll pop up in the coming days. I just want to thank the fans again, they've been awesome in this campaign.
"It's going to be a massive game over there [against France], they'll be going for the championship. We'll look to spoil the party."
'Bonus points could help Wales avoid wooden spoon'published at 18:46 GMT 8 March 2025

Gareth Griffiths BBC Sport Wales at Murrayfield
Wales showed second-half attacking intent and displayed character throughout in Matt Sherratt's second game as interim head coach.
The two bonus points they achieved with the final play of the game might also help them avoid finishing bottom of the Six Nations table again.
Replacement fly-half Jarrod Evans was outstanding when he came on and helped change the game.
Unfortunately stark statistics show Wales continue to rewrite the record books. They have now joined Italy as a tier-one team to have lost 16 successive Test matches in the professional era.
Wales have lost 10 consecutive matches in this tournament and are now looking to avoid a second successive clean sweep of Six Nations defeats for the first time in their history.
England travel to Cardiff next Saturday with Wales desperate for some sort of success in what is Sherratt's final game in temporary charge before returning to Cardiff.
Wales will hope a repeat of a that stirring second-half comeback could result in that elusive victory.
