2. MOST SIX NATIONS APPEARANCES

Parisse broke the record for the most Six Nations appearances after leading out Italy for their clash with Scotland. The 35-year-old surpassed Brian O’Driscoll’s tally of 65 Six Nations caps at Murrayfield on Saturday in his country’s first match of the 2019 tournament – and has started in each of his 66 outings.

3. First hat-trick scorer

Blair Kinghorn is the first player to score a hattrick for Scotland in the Guinness Six Nations. The last player to manage that feat for Scotland in the Five Nations was Iwan Tukalo against Ireland in 1989.

4. Biggest ever half-time turnaround

Wales recorded the biggest ever half-time turnaround in a Six Nations Rugby match as well as their biggest ever half-time comeback in any competition.

5. 500

Stuart Hogg's try against Italy was Scotland's 500th Test try at BT Murrayfield, the third nation to reach that milestone at a single venue (England, Twickenham & Ireland, Lansdowne Road/Aviva Stadium). Proclamation.
