Wales 34-7 Scotland

Wales v Scotland Match Reports

Wales launched their Six Nations campaign with an emphatic four-try victory over Scotland at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. The Scots, without a win in the Welsh capital since 2002, never recovered from conceding tries inside the first 12 minutes to Wales scrum-half Gareth Davies and full-back Leigh Halfpenny. Halfpenny claimed a second touchdown after half-time and added four conversions and two penalties for a 24-point haul, before wing Steff Evans' try secured a five-point maximum as Scotland's recent resurgence came to a grinding halt.
