Wales now face a Scotland team who are ninth in the world rankings, just two spots ahead of them, but buoyed by their Calcutta Cup win against the English.<\/p>\n
Gregor Townsend’s men are title contenders after an impressive response to an opening weekend disappointment in Rome.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, the Scotland boss remains under pressure despite travelling to Cardiff with title hopes.<\/p>\n
Wilson was one of Townsend’s assistants between 2018 and 2020 while he also had a spell in charge of Glasgow, so is well-placed to assess the threats posed by the visitors.<\/p>\n
“I learned a huge amount from Gregor while I was there. He’s an attack-minded coach, there’s no doubt about that,” Wilson said.<\/p>\n
“The next step that he is pushing for is to break into the top three of the Six Nations more regularly, but I think he’s done a very good job.<\/p>\n
“They’ve produced a good squad, with some of the individuals they’ve found with Scottish-qualified players and people more local in the system. They’ve had some really good performances and wins.<\/p>\n
“They’re littered with Lions. I’ve worked with them and know how good their players are.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wales now face a Scotland team who are ninth in the world rankings, just two spots ahead of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":430808,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-430807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=430807"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430807\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/430808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=430807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=430807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=430807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
