FT: Scotland 38-8 Wales<\/p>\n

What a start for Scotland, who blew apart the pre-match
\npredictions of this being a tense and tight tussle.<\/p>\n

The Scots were better in all departments of the game and started
\nrapidly for Francesca McGhie to cross for the first of her three tries.<\/p>\n

Alex Callender responded for Wales from a driving line-out
\nbut McGhie and Leia Brebner-Holden gave Scotland a healthy 17-8 lead at the
\nbreak.<\/p>\n

McGhie\u2019s hat-trick score came soon after the restart and
\nfurther tries came in the final quarter from Evie Gallagher and Emma Orr.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a win that leaves Scotland in pole position to make the
\nquarter-finals while Wales, who failed to fire in attack and missed too many
\ntackles, are now staring at an early exit.<\/p>\n

Pool rivals Canada and Fiji are just kicking off in York before Six Nations rivals France and Italy meet meet in Exeter.<\/p>\n
