Anticipating the Scotland game, the most important thing for me was to see Wales restore some credibility after the Ireland hammering - other than winning, of course, which is a statement of the obvious.
In the end, we didn't achieve either, and the same old flaws were there again.
The new-look pack went well in the first 50-odd minutes and we spent a lot of that time with territory advantage, yet were undone by indiscipline, turnovers, or a lack of execution. In fact, the Scottish defence appeared confident whenever our backs had possession; there was very little evidence we looked capable of creating much.
