EDINBURGH : Scotland coach Gregor Townsend says his side produced a complete second-half performance on the back of the mercurial form of flyhalf Finn Russell in their 35-7 Six Nations victory over Wales at Murrayfield on Saturday.
"Perhaps the most impressive part of his game was his defence. Wales ran down his channel but he made tackle after tackle. So to then have the accuracy he showed in attack after that shows what a competitive player he is," Townsend told the BBC. "The first half, we didn't get our game going. We didn't get through the first two phases on enough occasions. Wales were competing hard at the breakdown, slowing our ball down or winning the ball back," Townsend said.
