The Racing 92 stand-off was at his magnificent best as he laid three of his side’s five tries on a plate for his team-mates and was also heavily involved in another.
Wales, who had won on six of their previous seven visits to Edinburgh, made things tough for Gregor Townsend’s team in the first half, but it was one-way traffic after the break as the hosts notched 22 points without reply to back up their Calcutta Cup victory in style and claim the Doddie Weir Cup.
We give each player involved a mark out of ten for their performance.

10. Finn Russell
Helped create all four of Scotland’s second-half tries with a performance that turned the game in the home side’s favour. Deservedly named player of the match. 9 Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group / S
11. Duhan van der Merwe
Followed up his Twickenham heroics with a couple of bulldozing runs that left Welsh defenders in his wake. No tries this week but created plenty of space for others. 7 Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group / S
12. Sione Tuipulotu
Continues to impress. Had a couple of lovely popped passes to Huw Jones and Russell which created chances for Scotland. 8 Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group / SRU
