Rugby Union history question

[Derek Smith]

One for the nerds:

Has any level 1 international team scored three tries against another L1 team in 10 mins? This going from the professional era.

(I don't know the answer.)

Italy vs Scotland in 6 nations some years back, was in first few minutes, not sure if less than 10.

.... 6 minutes apparently - it sticks in my mind because the shell shock it caused the Scottish players and crowd.

One of the best games in history. I was there!

Thanks for that, guys. So nothing special for England.

My team, Brighton FC, once scored 121 points in a league match, which meant a try every <5 minutes. The match video went missing, which was a shame as I wanted to do a time line. At one point the lads relaxed a bit and our captain chivied them by saying that he wanted the record score. After the match I asked him what the Brighton record was and he said he had no idea.
