Rewarding form

Ieuan Evans salutes a game of rare drama following Wales' victory over Scotland in The Sunday Telegraph.

"The confidence returned in abundance and though we must not forget that Scotland were down to 13 men for those final few moments, I believe victory in this game could be the turning point for Gatland and his side. Well, it will be if we start picking players in form and rewarding those who have shown their mettle for their regions in the first half of the season.

"Still, having said all of that, how many times do we have to put up with the rubbish we witnessed in the first half.

"Time after time, we turned over ball and gifted Scotland an opportunity to lay their own platform on a day when a first win in Cardiff for eight years was well within their capability.
Why is it, though? Why have our Lions of last summer become so careless and inaccurate. Why do not we force the issue? Why do we not show a little greater patience once positions of strength have been established?"
