Wales ‘must get better,’ says Jones after shock defeat to the Scots

ALUN WYN JONES says Wales have “got to get better” after they slumped to a four-year results low and their worst Six Nations campaign since 2007.

Wales’ lame 14-10 home defeat against Scotland in Llanelli made it five successive defeats under head coach Wayne Pivac, who can reflect on just two victories – over the Barbarians and Italy – since he succeeded Warren Gatland a year ago.

And it is in stark contrast to last season’s Grand Slam-winning Six Nations campaign, with a fifth-placed finish and just one victory leaving Wales facing plenty of questions before an Autumn Nations Cup schedule that features appointments with Ireland and England.
