Despite Wales remaining within a converted try of Scotland for much of the game, it was Frank Haddens men who appeared to have learnt their lessons from their opening match of the tournament.

Scotlands tight five had obviously decided that they were not going to be bullied on their home patch and took the game to the bigger Welsh pack from the off.

Scotland were bright, purposeful and hungry, which helped get the crowd up for it too. Wales were disappointing but take nothing away from Scotland.

Wales were denied the opportunity to play with continuity - which has been a trademark of their game in the past.

The only thing that must concern Frank Hadden is his team's inability to finish off. They need to be more clinical and the fact they failed to score a single try tells its own story.

Great credit goes to the Edinburgh winger Chris Paterson who was successful with seven penalties from seven attempts. He held his nerve in style.

Rob Dewey was outstanding in midfield but Marcus Di Rollo was not always on the same wavelength. But with another two home matches in store, confidence in the Scottish camp will be increasing ahead of the Italy and Ireland home games.

Italy shouldnt be over-estimated but thats certainly another game Scotland can win in a tournament which is looking increasingly open.
