Pivac: We’ll be tough on ourselves

Wayne Pivac has challenged his players to get back to winning ways in their Guinness Six Nations finale at home to Scotland on Saturday.

Wales host Gregor Townsend’s side at Principality Stadium on Saturday and are desperate to bounce back from their narrow defeat to England at Twickenham. And Pivac is hopeful they can get back to winning ways.

He said: “Every game is a game that we want to win. It’s a no-brainer. We will go back to work, we will review this game and look to improve our performance.

“Obviously, playing at home, we’d like to finish the campaign on a good note with a positive performance. We will review the England game like we do any game.

“We’ll be tough on ourselves and we are obviously looking to improve. But we’re here to win Test matches and we haven’t done that in recent weeks.

“So we need to make sure that we have a very good look at the game and take the learnings from it. We’ve got a game against Scotland and that’s an important game for us to continue to build the way we want to play the game.”

At Twickenham Wales used four young props and Pivac insists they are headed in the right direction when it comes to scrummaging.

He said: “It’s something that Jon [Humphreys, forwards coach] has focused on, scrummaging square and to the letter of the law. We’re trying to avoid giving away penalties.

“It’s a work in progress. We’ve got some young props that we’re putting a lot of faith in with Leon Brown and Dillon Lewis.

“Leon coming on today had to dig deep and I thought he did really well. I think those guys have got big futures in the game and we’re just going to keep working hard in those areas.

“We’ve got to make sure we keep improving.”
