The overriding Welsh emotion was relief after a bruising 26-23 victory over Scotland on Sunday revitalised their Six Nations campaign following last week’s painful home loss to England.

“There were some improvements from last week,” Wales captain Sam Warburton said.
“But we allowed them to stay in the game. You have to give Scotland credit for that. We are relieved to get the campaign back on track.”
Coach Warren Gatland echoed his captain’s view.
“It was a tough competitive game where both teams fought really hard to the end,” he said.
