Wales overwhelm Scotland in Six Nations opener
Updated | By AFP
Wales got their Six Nations campaign up and running with a 34-7 bonus point thrashing of Scotland.
It is Warren Gatland's 50th win in charge of his adopted country.
The New Zealander selected 10 Scarlets players hoping they could transfer their regional form on to the international stage and they delivered in stunning fashion with all 34 of the home points coming from men from the Llanelli-based team.
Two tries from Leigh Halfpenny, who contributed 24 points, and efforts from Gareth Davies and electric winger Steffan Evans sent Scotland crashing back down to earth.
The visitors could only muster a Peter Horne try and a Finn Russell conversion.
