Wales 21 Scotland 10: George North and Jonathan Davies touch down for home side as Stuart McInally scores for visitors

A battering-ram of a try from Wales' 34-try man-mountain winger set up a comfortable win as Jonathan Davies bagged a champagne try in the Doddie Weir Cup.

Scotland bagged a score through captain Stuart McInally after a fine maul.

But Gavin Hastings has serious work to do before the Six Nations on a ground where the Scots have largely been woeful for over a decade.

North is only 26, but it feels like he's been around for longer than just eight years.

If he stays fit, and with a Welsh region, he could well have Shane Williams' record try haul of 58 in his sights.

Scotland's first score of the game came straight after the home side's first try.

Captain Stuart McInally capitalised on a decimated Welsh defence from a line-out as a fine maul saw him skip over a mass of bodies for five points.

Gavin Hastings' side started the second half on the front foot.

But they could do nothing as the Welsh back-line scythed through them with lovely hands.

Via Gareth Anscombe and Hadleigh Parkes, the ball found 'The Fox' Jonathan Davies, who raced into green space and over the white line.

Jonny Gray could have got Scotland right back into it but his movement for the line on the ground was illegal and it took a TMO to disallow a try.

The TMO was needed again when Peter Horne chipped the ball over to brother George, but the ball slipped through the Glascow man's arms.

That was just seconds after Elliot Dee had been shown a yellow card.



For all Wales' efforts at being smoother, more silky with the ball, it was their defence that impressed the most.

Shaun Edwards has been one of the northern hemislphere's defining characters under Warren Gatland and Wales will sorely miss him when he's gone.
