Wales win ugly against Scotland to set up Grand Slam shot

Despite a disjointed performance against Scotland, Wales grabbed the victory needed to set up a chance at a Grand Slam when they face Ireland next weekend.

Match Commentary

81'		11-18 End of second half
80'		Wales coach Warren Gatland: "We had a couple of good defensive sets in that second half, but it was certainly nerve-wracking. We were comfortable at the half, but Scotland came out in the second half and put us under pressure. But I said to the guys afterwards that, when you've won a Grand Slam, you look back on at least one game where you're like 'yeah, we were maybe a little lucky there'."
80'		Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones on a defensive effort from Wales that required 160 tackles. "We knew we were coming up here... they did a job on us in 2017 and they nearly did it again here. In our previous games we've finished stronger, but we didn't get going in that second half. We couldn't get the ball back."
