Wales slay Eagles with record win
5 June 2005, 8:48 am
By Jonathan McConnell
Rampant Wales scored 11 tries, including a brace from flanker Colin Charvis, in a 77-3 rout of the
United States on Saturday.
The Six Nations champions scored two tries in the opening 11 minutes  through centre Ceri Sweeney and wing Craig Morgan. Mike Hercus’s 15th-minute penalty goal might have stemmed the tide, but lightning  replies from Nicky Robinson and Kevin Morgan opened the gap to 28-3 and  forced the USA to play catchup.

Flanker Justin Thomas and wing Rhys Williams each scored before half time,  and Sweeney landed all of his conversions  to make the count 42-3.

Charvis scored two of the visitors’ first three tries in the second  period, as the Welsh consistently drove their opponents  backward at the breakdown, creating openings for their nimble back
division. Scrumhalf Nicky Robinson, and replacements  Tal Selley, and   Richie Pugh finished the Welsh scoring.
