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.

Josh Adams and Jonathan Davies had the Welsh on course for a 13th consecutive win - and coach Warren Gatland's 11th in 11 attempts against the Scots.

A depleted Scotland were roused after Darcy Graham scored on his first start and threatened to cause an upset.

But Wales held on and will lift the title by beating Ireland in Cardiff.

It was a third defeat in a row for Gregor Townsend's side, who travel to Twickenham next weekend searching for a first win in London against England since 1983.
