Scotland thump Wales in Six Nations as Finn Russell and Co make history – 3 talking points

Scotland at last made it two wins out of two from the start of a Six Nations as they calmly disposed of a ragged Wales side 35-7.

George Turner, Kyle Steyn with two, Blair Kinghorn and Matt Fagerson got the five tries that gave Gregor Townsend’s side another bonus-point win to add to the one they earned against England a week earlier.

There were hiccups along the way, especially in the first half when Turner was sent to the sin bin. Wales looked dangerous then, but, with Finn Russell in commanding form, Scotland soon regained control early in the second half. The win equalled the most points the Scots have scored against Wales, and puts them on ten points, behind Ireland at the top of the Championship table only on points for and against. The tournament now has a week off before Scotland visit France in round three.
