RATINGS Wales
LIAM WILLIAMS The full- back made an important early turnover as Scotland threatened, and went on to have an outstanding game in which his composure inspired his team-mates 8 ALEX CUTHBERT Was denied a try out wide late in the game and came inside a lot looking for work 7 OWEN WATKIN Had the odd error but steadily grew in confidence as his team began to realise victory was in their grasp
NICK TOMPKINS Gained some valuable yards in midfield as Wales began to get on the front foot in some exchanges, and won useful late turnover
LOUIS REES-ZAMMIT Was caught too narrow for Darcy Graham’s try and had little or no chance to show his attacking prowess
DAN BIGGAR The captain marked his 100th Test appearance with the winning score late in the game and showed vital maturity and leadership throughout
TOMOS WILLIAMS The scrum- half kept his attack ticking over well with some slick distribution and linked up with Biggar to good effect
WYN JONES Enjoyed his tussle in the scrum with his opposite numbers and showed up well in the loose as well 7 RYAN ELIAS Good support work at Tomas Francis’ try was the highlight of a more than satisfactory afternoon 7 TOMAS FRANCIS Executed well from line- out maul to score his team’s only try and was part of a much-improved performance up front 7 WILL ROWLANDS Grew in stature as the game wore on and became more conspicuous in the loose
ADAM BEARD Combined well with Rowlands in the second row and was another who became more confident as the game went on 7 TAINE BASHAM Worked tirelessly in the loose and put in some good work on the deck, but was fortunate not to be yellow- carded in the closing moments after going in high on Sam Skinner
JAC MORGAN The debutant openside conceded an early penalty, perhaps through over-eagerness, but he settled and put in a decent performance 7 ROSS MORIARTY The No.8 combined well with his t wo back-row colleagues to shut down the Scots attack
BEST OF THE REST AARON WAINWRIGHT Came on for the final quarter in place of Moriarty and contributed well at the breakdown.
JONATHAN DAVIES On for his 100th cap late in the game. DEWI LEWIS Vital turnover late in the game as Scotland went in search of the winning score. 7 7 6 8 8 7 7 7
