Gatland happy as Wales too hot for Scots

Wales head coach Warren Gatland hailed the maturity of his side after seeing them take a second step on the road to a potential RBS 6 Nations Triple Crown with a 27-13 victory over Scotland at the Millennium Stadium yesterday.

The sides had been level at 3-3 after a scrappy first half but Wales clicked into gear early in the second period to kill off a Scotland side who again paid for a lack of composure.

Scrum-half Chris Cusiter’s failure to gather Rhys Priestland’s second-half kick-off sparked Scotland’s implosion as it laid the platform for wing Alex Cuthbert to score the opening try, converted by Leigh Halfpenny.
