Wales player ratings vs Scotland. RUCK marks every Welsh player after their opening Six Nations victory against Scotland. Scroll on down to see our player ratings.
15 Leigh Halfpenny: The fullback scored two tries after not scoring a Test try for five years. He was also faultless from the tee, taking his total haul to 24 points. 9/10
14 Josh Adams: Looks like he was born to play Test rugby. He's only going to get better. 7.5/10
13 Scott Williams: Marshalled the Welsh defence efficiently, winning a couple of superb turnovers. Also attacked with purpose and now looks very at home at Test level now. 7.5/10
12 Hadleigh Parkes: He's a typical New Zealander, he does the right things at the right times. Makes up for what he lacks in pace with experience and natural skills. 7/10
11 Steff Evans: Scoring a stylish try to secure the bonus-point, Evans always looked to take the positive option and will get better and better as the competition goes on. 8/10
10 Rhys Patchell: He's an intelligent player. He's matured in the Scarlets shirt in the last two years and put in a performance of the highest level. Sometimes tried to force things but overall a superb outing. 7.5/10
The scrum-halfhas scored 10 Test tries since the beginning of the Rugby World Cup, more than any other international 9 in that time. He was fantastic today, apart from one crooked scrum feed.
8 Ross Moriarty: Despite not playing much rugby since the Lions tour in the summer, Moriarty roared back to his best for Wales. Reminiscent of his display against England 12 months ago. 7.5/10
7 Josh Navidi: Lots of Wales fans wanted to see James Davies start, but Navidi didn't let them down at all. Made a lot of them eat their words. 7/10
6 Aaron Shingler: The flanker absolutely destroyed people out there and was superb with and without the ball His best display for Wales so far. 8.5/10
5 Alun Wyn Jones (c): The captain led the charge for Wales and bullied the Scottish locks at the breakdown and at the lineout. Also carried bullishly 8/10
4 Cory Hill: Came off with an HIA in the second half but was solid before then. 7/10
3. Samson Lee: He was the cornerstone of a solid Welsh scrum, but also threw a delightful flick pass, which led to the quote “Samson Lee is a Fijian”. 7.5/10
