Biggar, perfect copy
A real metronome in Cardiff this Saturday.
Dan Biggar led his team to victory.
The captain - who was celebrating his 100th international cap - scored 15 points from the foot.
But more than that, his game intelligence and his choices were decisive.
Half an hour into the game, the opener decides to hit the sidelines, rather than taking the penalty within 22 meters.
Paying tactic since Tomas Francis flattens a few minutes later.
He is also the author of a strategic drop in the 72nd minute, allowing his team to regain the score.
Embarrassed in the right leg from the first period, he was heroic and remained on the ground until the end, or almost.
Exit acclaimed in the 79th minute.
Live6 Nations: No new feat for Scotland, Wales flexed their muscles
Liam Williams, Precious
The Welsh fullback has often - if not always - been fair in his choices and his shots.
He locked Leek's rearguard well, very valuable on opposing candles.
At the hour of play, he was also the one who had carried the ball the most times (14) in hand.
Graham, as a blaster
He lit the first fuse of this match which could have ended in fireworks.
The twirling winger perfectly negotiates his one against one against Louis Rees-Zammit to flatten, and this from the twelfth minute.
Scotland take the score to their advantage.
More discreet thereafter, like his other friends at the back, he was invaluable in defense.

FLOPS
Indiscipline on both sides
Welsh and Scottish know which axis to progress for the next matches of the Tournament.
13 penalties conceded for Chardon, eight against Leek.
Penalties that cost a lot of points, before being fatal to the Scots.
Scottish forwards
They were often penalized, especially in the scrum.
No scrum could be played on the first try.
Scrum-halves had to wait three or four straight fights before they could introduce.
57% melee won by Gregor Townsend's pack.
Two solid defenses however and in particular on the Scottish side with 90% of successful tackles.

The weather didn't help
A game that got poorer as the match progressed.
The now famous "ping-pong" rugby settled in at the start of the second period, before a significant drop in intensity on the hour mark. The fault in particular of a fine but constant rain on Cardiff this Saturday.
For the beautiful game, we will come back.
A victory for the Welsh - reigning champions - which allows them to get their heads above water, they who could have drowned in Cardiff.
