Former Wales rugby league worldwide Ben Flower had been introduced in to work on the contact space and co-captain Kate Williams had praised the upper depth coaching.
However ex-international Siwan Lillicrap described Wales as “smooth” as they have been torn aside by Scotland’s again three – not least hat-trick hero Francesca McGhie.
Wales had a sort out success price of 85% – in comparison with Scotland’s 90% – however they missed some essential ones.
Centres Hannah Dallavalle and Courtney Keight in addition to full-back Nel Metcalfe all didn’t cease the opening-minute strive.
And it was an analogous story for the fourth – initially of the second half – when Lleucu George flapped at Rhona Lloyd earlier than Keira Bevan and Metcalfe couldn’t stop McGhie finishing her hat-trick.
It was a continuing theme all through as Scotland made most nearly twice the variety of metres after contact (264m) than Wales (139m).
“We received bullied off the pitch,” stated former Wales wing Caryl James.
“Wales’ defence could not cope with Scotland’s physicality in any respect. I used to be shocked at how poor Wales have been, I did not count on them to be so weak.”
Ex-Wales captain Ken Owens added: “It is disappointing. Sean Lynn was discussing how they have been engaged on defence however Scotland dominated the gainline. However Scotland turned up and located the perimeters very straightforward – method too straightforward.”
