Comentario de partido
"Wales have lift off. This might not have been the performance Warren Gatland and his coaching team were looking for but a win is most definitely a win. And this one, as fortunate as the hosts were at times, could well set them on their way to a fourth championship under the New Zealander. Scotland were magnificent throughout but the contest turned on John Hardie's fumble and Tom James' dart upfield. The Cardiff Blues wing never looked like outpacing the Scottish defence but his intervention turn the momentum in his team's favour. Soon Wales had a second try, through Jamie Roberts, and when George North joined the party the home win was confirmed. Scotland will play worse and win but their long wait for victory over Wales goes on."
Duncan Taylor makes a great break forward, breaking Priestland's tackle before planting down. Credit must be given to Jackson's offload as it paved the way for Scotland's centre to make the try.
Great try from George North! Scrum works well, Davies throws to North and a couple of mistackles from Scotland's defense gifts the winger the space. However, he still had a lot to do and navigates his way past the Scottish bodies excellently. That'll do him the world of good.
And it's there! Jamie Roberts slams down for the five points! Two big collisions but no one could keep him out. It must be said it has been coming for Gatland's side.
Referee says that he's going to penalties if either side engages too early.
"Shaun Edwards had urged Wales to respect Scotland this week, and on this evidence it is easy to see why. Wales started quickly, but their opening try came against the run of play. Vern Cotter's visitors have been excellent in the first 40 minutes, playing with confidence as they have taken the game to their hosts in attack and denied them any space in defence. Tommy Seymour - having switched to the right wing following Sean Maitland's late withdrawal - has been brilliant at both ends of the pitch and showed impressive composure to score his side's only try. Greig Laidlaw's second penalty on the stroke of half-time has given Scotland a three-point lead. The only worry being that their hosts are still well within touching distance. Wales can't be as accommodating in the second 40, can they?"
And he makes it! FULL TIME!
...who also get it wrong. Another go at the scrum now...
Scotland penalised for engaging early and Wales can kick clear.
Great try. Tommy Seymour finishes off after 21 phases of pressure. Little chip over and the Scottish winger latches onto it and places it down.
WHAT A TRY FROM GARETH DAVIES!
The Wales scrum half has a solo 40 metre run towards to corner. Biggar chips forward, Roberts wins in the air, knocks it down and Davies collects it from around half way and pegs it for the line!
Phew, sigh of relief for the Scottish. Wales penalised for engaging early in the scrum and Laidlaw punts clear.
Wales welcome Scotland to Cardiff on Saturday evening unbeaten, and arguably favourites to win this year's Six Nations, but with their Grand Slam and Triple Crown hopes in tatters. Last weekend's 16-16 draw against Ireland displayed the battling qualities of Warren Gatland's side, and the New Zealander will hope that a more cohesive attacking display can help his side banish the frustration of their Dublin stalemate.
