SCOTLAND have climbed to a record high fifth-place in the World Rugby rankings following Saturday's Six Nations win over Wales.

Vern Cotter's side put in a superb second half performance to record a 29-13 victory at Murrayfield, their first win over the Welsh in ten years.

The win has lifted the Scots up to 82.18 ranking points, leapfrogging France, South Africa and the defeated Welsh side. 

Scotland's next game will be against Six Nations leaders England at Twickenham in two weeks' time, before a final day meeting with Italy in Edinburgh
