15 Stuart Hogg

The Scotland captain was dangerous as ever with ball in hand and secured victory with final kick after he’d be redeployed as an emergency stand-off. 7

14 Darcy Graham

Took some great catches in the swirling conditions and a safe pair of hands before being withdrawn adn replaced by his Edinburgh team-mate Duhan van der Merwe. 7

13 Chris Harris

Eager to probe in midfield and strong with ball in hand, but spilled try-scoring pass in first half after a neat exchange with Hogg. 7

12 James Lang

Dovetailed well with Harris and helped provide defensive midfield barrier that Wales could not pierce. 7

11 Blair Kinghorn

Switched from full-back to wing and almost broke through the home defence with one first-half run. Ended the game back at full-back following run of injuries. 6

10 Finn Russell

Back in favour after patching things up with Gregor Townsend and kicked early penalty, but forced off in first half after sustaining groin injury. 6

9 Ali Price

Benefited from good possession to keep Scotland ticking and on the front foot, usually chose the right option. 7

1 Rory Sutherland

Solid shift in the tight before pre-planned move to change the entire front row after the 50-minute mark. 7

2 Fraser Brown

Never mastered the windy conditions and mistimed throw to back of line-out led to Wales try. 6

3 Zander Fargerson

Pinged at early scrum but gradually established dominance and enjoyed the arm wrestle. 7

4 Scott Cummings

Combined well with Gray in engine room and big part in driving maul that led to decisive try. 7

5 Jonny Gray

High on confidence after Exeter’s Premiership and European Cup double and showed his experience in the physical battle. 7

6 James Ritchie

Big try-line turnover with Scotland 7-3 down and all-round performance won him the man-of-the-match award. 8

7 Hamish Watson

Put Scotland on the front foot with his big ball-carrying and broke holes in the home defence. 7

8 Blade Thomson

Scarlets number eight was back on familiar ground and put in some big tackles to knock Wales back. 7

Replacements

Adam Hastings (for Russell, 32mins): Shook off stinger injury on shoulder to play key role before having to go off after taking a second blow to shoulder. 7

Oli Kebble (for Sutherland, 54mins): Part of all-front row change and won key scrum penalty. 7

Stuart McInally (for Brown, 54mins): Hit the ground running and 10th international try proved pivotal. 7

Simon Berghan (for Fagerson, 54mins): Played part in late Scotland push. 7

Cornell du Preez (for Thomson, 54mins): Showed up well in final quarter. 7

Duhan van der Merwe (for Graham, 66mins): Produced plenty of power in the closing stages. 7

Scott Steele (for Hastings, 70mins): Sent on in the final 10 minutes to win first cap on the wing. 6
