LONDON (Reuters) - Stuart Hogg and Finn Russell shone as Scotland staged a rousing comeback to beat Wales for the first time in 10 years in an absorbing 29-13 Six Nations victory at Murrayfield on Saturday. After an early exchange of penalties Wales winger Liam Williams crossed in the corner for an eye-catching opening try as the visitors opened up a 13-9 halftime lead. Victory was Scotland's first against Wales since 2007 - ending a run of nine successive defeats - as they scored 23 unanswered points to register their second victory in three matches in this year's Championship. "We knew how tough Wales were going to be," man-of-the-match Russell told the BBC. Visser then strolled over in the opposite corner after he was put into space by Hogg's brilliant quick pass, with two further Russell kicks sealing an emphatic victory.
