LONDON (Reuters) - Ireland overwhelmed Scotland 40-10 at Murrayfield on Saturday to climb above Wales at the top of the Six Nations standings after the Welsh had blown Italy away with seven second-half tries in a 61-20 victory in Rome.

Ireland will retain their title unless England can beat France by 26 points at Twickenham in the tournament's final match later on Saturday.
