WE’VE GAT TO GET IT RIGHT

AARON WAINWRIGHT wants to ensure

Warren Gatland does not endure another firsthalf nightmare at Twickenham this weekend.

Wales boss Gatland described the first 40 minutes of this defeat as the worst of his 30-year coaching career. Then things only got worse.

A fourth Scottish try at the start of the second half made it 27-0 and Wales and Wainwright were heading for a massacre.

Then came one of the greatest fightbacks in Six Nations history that left Gatland (below) and his young side with something to cling to ahead of their shoot-out with England.

“It wasn’t the start we wanted but we showed what we can do when we start putting some stuff together,” said try scorer and man of the match Wainwright (above).

“If we can replicate that second half performance and play like that for the full 80 it will be exciting. We have to make sure it doesn’t take a first half like that to get into it.

“It was encouraging how we kept fighting and put ourselves in with a chance to win. That’s going to give us momentum for next week.”

Wing Rio Dyer said: “We were in our shell during that first-half. We were hitting it up and getting put on the back foot, so the only thing we could do then was to kick it.

“Gats (Wales head coach Warren Gatland) said at half-time: ‘let’s actually play, let’s go out there, we have got nothing to lose now. We are under the pump, so let’s go out and show what we can actually do’.”

Scottish centre Huw Jones admits discipline let his side down in Cardiff.

He added: “Discipline let us down and it was pretty poor from us. Our response to what they brought in the second half wasn’t good enough.

“We had the right plan and stuck to it in the first half, but not the second. We’re really happy to have won, but there are still things we need to fix if we are to continue to grow.

“It will be great to be back at home next week and we’ll be expecting a reaction from France, and from ourselves as well.”
