Scotland 100 Japan 8 Scotland's record rout in Perth on Saturday eclipsed an 89-0 defeat of Ivory Coast at the 1995 World Cup, while in compiling his 40 points, including three tries, Chris Paterson's 303 Test points makes him Scotland's second top scorer, behind Andy Irvine.

While Japan never threw in the towel, the feeling among a 10,278 crowd was of a 15-try demolition professionally executed. Matt Williams highlighted the way the team retained a collective approach as substitutions began to occur.
