CARDIFF, Wales (AP) Wales got its Six Nations title ambitions back on track in an entertaining ninth straight win over Scotland by 27-23 on Saturday.

Wales scored the first of its three tries quickly, but lost the lead for nearly 50 minutes as Scotland showed the gumption it displayed in the Rugby World Cup, under a roof that kept out the Cardiff rain and allowed the teams to express themselves.

And put on a show they did, in a match full of movement that was easily the tournament's best yet.

Wales moved into provisional second in the standings, with a chance to cement its status as championship favorite when it hosts leader France in two weeks.
