Dominic Moore Womens Jersey After all the accusations of negative style and safety-first rugby levelled at Warren Gatland's Wales team, it took a high-risk gamble to break the battling Scots in Cardiff. Trailing 16-13 and with 61 minutes on the clock, captain Sam Warburton spurned a guaranteed three points by opting for a scrum from a penalty in front of the Scottish posts. Wales had trailed since the 12th minute and had rarely threatened the Scottish line since Gareth Davies' early try, apart from Tom James' thrilling 80-yard dash along the left touchline from a turnover. The stakes were high, but the gamble paid off when Jamie Roberts clattered through two tackles from short range. Matt Beleskey Kids Jersey There was nothing subtle about the execution, but the audacity of the call surprised many - including Scotland. Five minutes later George North delivered the killer blow when he swerved and sidestepped past five flailing defenders from 40 metres in another moment of bravado. High risk, high reward Captain Warburton felt the gamble was worthwhile. "You just have to have a feel for those things," he said. "It was a banker three points in front of the posts, or do you go for the scrum? http://www.officialhockeyco.com/gary-roberts-jersey-c-1_55_658.html "It is a little bit risky - if you give away a penalty you don't get anything and I felt we needed a try, I didn't think three points was going to be enough. "We'd have to go back down there and get another three and at that moment in time you just get a feel for it, I felt it was the right thing to do." If the right thing is turning a three-point deficit into a decisive 11-point lead, then it is difficult to argue. Plenty of room for improvement After struggling with a busy and impressive Scotland, Wales effectively killed the game off in a 10-minute period. http://www.officialhockeyco.com/brian-campbell-jersey-c-1_193_195.html But that purple patch was not leading either Gatland or Warburton into complacency. Both accepted there is plenty to work on ahead of the match with France, who are unbeaten in two games after their 10-9 win over Ireland in Paris.
