Cardiff Arms Park - Wales 13 - Scotland 8

Wales 13 (2G, 1T

T: Morley, Thomas, Boon. C: Bassett (2).

Scotland 8 - 1G, 1T

T: Crichton-Miller (2). C: Allan.


Watcyn Thomas played for much of the game with a broken collar-bone and his bravery was rewarded when the Llanelli forward scored a try.

An earlier example of such devotion to duty was in 1900 when Dick Hellings continued to play with a broken arm against England at Gloucester and the Llwynypia forward also scored a try.

Before the match there was a minute's silence in respect of the memory of James Aikman Smith, who had died while on his way to Cardiff. Aikman Smith was one of the most remarkable administrators in the history of the game: an implacable opponent of professionalism, a meticulously careful treasurer of the Scottish RFU and a vociferous voice on the International Board; he represented Scottish interests for 44 years.
