Wales still have a long way to go

 

Stuart Hogg finished a stunning breakaway try in the first half for the hosts, but scores from Rhys Webb and Jonathan Davies either side of the break helped Warren Gatland's men to a 26-23 victory.

 

And Wyn Jones admits securing a win after the disappointment of last week's defeat to England was massively important, even if the performance was not totally satisfying.

 

"We were pretty unconvincing last week and I think towards the end today we were pretty unconvincing again, but a win is a win and we are trying to get better," said the man of the match.

 

"I think the final score is a fair reflection of the game. I think both teams have been a bit unconvincing of late but credit to Scotland today as they gave us a real game.

 

"We hope that we can win the Championship but we are not going to get too far ahead of ourselves.

 

"You have to have a lot of respect for the other teams and realise that you have to take it one game at a time."

 

Leigh Halfpenny picked up a personal tally of 16 points on the day, whilst Liam Williams saw a first-half try chalked off, as Wales did enough to overcome their determined opponents in a dramatic affair at Murrayfield.

 

Gatland also insists the result was the priority following the opening-round loss, with the attacking potential of his side a promising footnote.

 

"There's a satisfaction and relief after the criticism of last week. I think we deserved the result and the victory, but it's difficult to get a result away from home in this Championship," Gatland said.

 

"When we kept the ball we were good, and our dominance in the air was good.

 

"It was a good Test match, we went out there to play rugby and Scotland did as well. We're relieved to get back on the bike and get a result."
