Wales' performance in the second half against Scotland is seen as a positive shift, emphasizing the need to adapt due to the absence of physically imposing players. Statistics from the first round of the Six Nations Rugby show Wales conceding less territory from penalties than Scotland and an increase in their lineout success rate. Scotland's high penalty count in the match against Wales is highlighted, with 16 penalties conceded, the most since 2014. Wales' improvement in lineouts during the second half is noted, with a shift from losing five in the first half to winning eight out of nine. The need for Wales to find a different approach is emphasized, with a focus on their evolving playing style.
Wales lost five lineouts in the first half against Scotland, hence this reaction from the coaching box. In the second half, they won eight out of nine. Analysis on what changed and what England will have learned from the tape. https://t.co/0AYiR9e0H9 https://t.co/QjS0tNGl2r
"The next-worse repeat offenders were Wales in 2022, when they gave away eight penalties in a row" We asked the guys at @Oval_Insights to put Scotland's disciplinary issues into context. And wow https://t.co/jQAoddd4YR https://t.co/9fXWL04ojs

"The way Wales played in the second half against Scotland has to be the way forward. They do not possess the sort of huge physical specimens that characterised Gatland’s first tenure. They have to find another way" | ✍️ @sjamesjourno Read more ⬇️ https://t.co/t9jzhOWHGn
