"Wales have lift off. This might not have been the performance Warren Gatland and his coaching team were looking for but a win is most definitely a win. And this one, as fortunate as the hosts were at times, could well set them on their way to a fourth championship under the New Zealander. Scotland were magnificent throughout but the contest turned on John Hardie's fumble and Tom James' dart upfield. The Cardiff Blues wing never looked like outpacing the Scottish defence but his intervention turn the momentum in his team's favour. Soon Wales had a second try, through Jamie Roberts, and when George North joined the party the home win was confirmed. Scotland will play worse and win but their long wait for victory over Wales goes on."
