But even with a 27-point cushion midway through the second half, they contrived to make life uncomfortable for themselves against a clearly inferior side. But for Blair Murray’s unfortunate little leap into a tackle a few minutes from the end, they might even have lost.

Wales managed to rouse themselves from a hopeless position to claim two bonus points, when Max Llewellyn crashed over to score their fourth at the death. Jarrod Evans’s conversion, his third, pulled Wales back to within six for the second point.
