The victory was based on another solid platform from the Welsh pack, the home side seemingly able to send Scotland into reverse at will.
Wales scored seven tries, three in the first half and four more after the break, in what was ultimately a comfortable win against a well beaten Scottish outfit.
The opening 40 minutes saw three yellow cards, Olly Cracknell sin binned early on his Welsh debut while Scottish forwards Tommy Spinks and D’arcy Rae both spent time on the sidelines. With the action continuing without them, Wales defied a vicious wind to pull clear.
It had been Scotland who opened the scoring with a converted try from Damien Hoyland but Wales soon hit back with scores from Jack Dixon, a penalty try, and a Will Boyde effort. Angus O’Brien converted two of those scores and although Gavin Lowe added a penalty to his conversion of Hoyland’s try, Wales were on top.
The start of the second half saw Wales’ forward dominance continue with James Benjamin dotting down and Joshua Adams diving over. Scotland again saw yellow with Cameron Fenton spending 10 minutes on the sidelines, allowing Wales to assume total control.
Replacement scrum half Tom Williams and captain Steffan Hughes added further scores with Luke Price kickng both sets of extras. And although Jamie Farndale got a Scottish consolation in the final minute, Wales were worthy winners.
Desperate to make amends for their loss last week, Wales endured a nightmare start with an early effort from full back Hoyland, converted by Lowe, giving Scotland a 7-0 lead. Things soon got worse with Cracknell yellow carded for pulling down a line out but after a slow opening 10 minutes, Wales woke up.
Dixon got the home side back into things with a simple finish after first Luc Jones and Adams, and then hooker Scott Otten, had given Wales good field position with a series of aggressive carries. O’Brien converted to level things up and with Scottish skipper Spinks joining Cracknell on the sidelines, Byron Hayward’s men sensed blood.
Benjamin was held up over the line but with the Wales scrum once again a dominant force, the home pack soon shoved the Scottish eight off the ball to earn a penalty try. O’Brien added the easy conversion and although Wales were playing into a fierce northern wind, Cracknell’s return to the field completed a pleasing first 20 minutes.
Three early tries had certainly entertained the Parc Eirias crowd but ill-discipline continued to blight the game. Scottish prop Rae was the next to be yellow carded for striking Jones but with Spinks swapping places with him, the visitors remained just one man light.
Still, Scotland were well in the game as they soaked up wave after wave of Welsh attack. And when Lowe’s penalty went over in the 31st minute, their deficit was reduced to just four. Rae then returned to the field but after full back Ashley Evans showed his danger with one superb break, Boyde completed the first half scoring with a push over try following a huge Welsh line out surge. O’Brien’s conversion was charged down but with conditions against them, Wales would have been more than pleased with a nine point interval advantage.
As the second half began, Wales knew the wind was now in their favour. But it was the home pack who continued to do all the damage, four consecutive scrums sending the Scottish eight flying backwards. The last of those gave Benjamin a simple finish and although O’Brien’s conversion struck an upright, Wales had already scored four tries with less than 50 minutes played.
Scotland were now well up against it and Adams soon added a fifth from a flat Jones pass before replacement Scottish prop Fenton was next to see yellow. With the visitors down to 14 for a third time and playing into the wind, there was still plenty of time for more tries going into the final quarter.
Both teams rung the changes late on with Williams and Price new halfbacks for Wales but it did little to change the one way traffic at the scrum. Another huge forward surge saw Williams dive over minutes after coming on, Price converting to make it 36-10.
The final 10 minutes saw more home dominance with Hughes completing the Welsh scoring, Farndale’s effort failing to ruin a memorable end to Wales’ 2014 Six Nations campaign.
