Gray hails Scotland performance as spoon avoided

SCOTLAND avoided the RBS Six Nations wooden spoon with a comfortable win over Italy at Murrayfield on Saturday.

Second-half tries from Nick De Luca and Nikki Walker gave the their first victory of the competition. “It means a lot, it’s been a really frustrating championship,” said second-row Richie Gray.

“We’ve played well in spells and not quite got a win so to get the win and get a few tries gives us something to cheer about.
