PLAYER RATINGS: Wales' young star Louis Rees-Zammit steals the show

Daily Mail  

Wales narrowly beat Scotland 24-25 in the Six Nations on Saturday to claim their second victory of the tournament. Scotland forward Zander Fagerson was shown a red card early in the second half and Wayne Pivac's visitors took advantage to make a dramatic comeback in Edinburgh, with wing Louis Rees-Zammit stealing the show. Wyn Jones – 8 Gave away a scrum penalty for not driving straight with his team on the attack, but is Wales’ best loosehead. Alun Wyn Jones – 5 Gave away two early penalties, perhaps because he was so easily identifiable by his garish yellow boots and his discipline was surprisingly poor. Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones gave away two early penalties against Scotland Aaron Wainwright – 5 Lost a contact lens early on and dropped a sitter of a pass.
