At last we can say it. For the first time since 1996, Scotland are two from two in the championship. And for the first time since 1986, we can say that Scotland followed up their win over England with another over someone else.
Maybe that was the most gratifying part of this triumph – the fact that the euphoria of victory over the Auld Enemy was here ridden with maturity to back it up. In so doing, they move neatly on to the shoulder of the mighty Ireland at the top of the table on maximum points, bonus point bagged with a second-half masterclass that yielded four tries.
