The 2012 and 2013 tournament winners ran out 51-3 victors on the final day of the Championship, scoring seven tries and stopping the Scots from crossing their whitewash in the process.
Perhaps fittingly, Saturday’s success came on the day that the Millennium Stadium played host to its 100th Wales Test since the venue was officially opened with a 29-19 win over South Africa back in June 1999.
Here’s a look at the stats that tumbled in the tournament finale as this current crop of Wales stars went about writing their own chapter in the history books…
