Wales are now just one game away from the Six Nations title and a grand slam after surviving a second-half fright against Scotland at Murrayfield.

BEST PLAYERS

SCOTLAND: Jonny Gray

Winning his 50th cap, the lock was the hosts best performer by a pretty significant margin. While everyone else seemed to struggle and make simple errors, Gray was the Scots' most prolific tackler with 15 while he helped them drive over the gain-line when he could with eight carries. Another man who stood out was Hamish Watson off the bench.

WALES: Ken Owens

The best hooker in the northern hemisphere right now. Decent lineout throwing combined with 14 tackles and 10 carries made him our standout performer for the victorious Welsh. Justin Tipuric and Hadleigh Parkes were also brilliant while Josh Adams seems to just keep getting better and better on the Test stage.

WORST PLAYERS

SCOTLAND: WP Nel

A very poor display from the tighthead. Outgunned in the scrum, Nel also missed two tackles and made zero metres from his four carries during his 65 minutes on the pitch.

WALES: Rob Evans

Nobody was particularly bad for the Welsh. In a game that didn't rely on the set piece, the loosehead struggled to make an impact, missing two tackles and just making three metres with the ball in hand.
