Slam fever hits Wales

Scotland 22 Wales 46

Mike Ruddock’s side produced a mesmerising first-half display to obliterate Scotland at Murrayfield and move within 80 minutes of a first Grand Slam since the halcyon days of 1978.

Any fears that Scotland might cause an upset were dismissed in 40 blistering minutes as the Welsh ran in five tries, cutting the Scottish defence to shreds and taking a firm grip on the RBS Six Nations trophy in the process.
