Glasgow scrum-half Stott relieves the pressure

Neil Jenkins converted, to add to an earlier penalty.

But Hayes landed a 50-yard kick to keep the Scots in touch at half-time. With the wind at their backs, Cardiff extended their lead in the opening exchanges of the second period, Morgan popping up inside his right wing to cross in the corner.

And his second effort, a magnificent kick-and-chase solo run from 70 yards, brought the crowd to its feet and ended the game as a contest.

Centre Gareth Thomas added a further try for Cardiff with scrum-half Fraser Stott crossing for a consolation score for the visitors in the closing seconds.
