• Wales tries from Josh Adams and Jonathan Davies
Turmoil off the field, their domestic game in chaos, but at international level Wales continue to rule in the north. Their 13th consecutive win duly came in Edinburgh and on they march back to Cardiff, a third grand slam of the Warren Gatland era still very much on. Only Ireland stand between them and a glorious send-off for Gatland.
As preparation for the challenge Ireland will provide, this was of limited value. Wales won the modern way, powerful, tireless and precise. Ireland like to play that way too. Scotland – and this iteration in particular – play a completely different game. Already suffering something of an injury crisis, Scotland were further disrupted here, losing their entire back three to injury, a depowering they could scarcely afford.
