Scotland 'not good enough' in win over Wales - Van der Merwe

Scotland winger Duhan van der Merwe believes Scotland "weren't good enough" in their ultimately narrow win over Wales at Murrayfield.

Scotland were 27 points ahead at the hour mark before the visitors brought it back to a one-score game in the dying seconds.

"We played very well in the first half and we spoke about coming out and playing even better," Van der Merwe told the BBC.

"We made a lot of mistakes in that second half, Wales punished in the set piece. We couldn't win our line-outs, lost a few scrums.

"Wales played very well that last 40 minutes, but a lot of that stuff is on us and unfortunately we weren't good enough in the second half."

Scotland now head to Paris for the final weekend, with France looking to seal the Six Nations title with a win.

"It'll be a tough week for us," Van der Merwe added. "It's easy to go over there [to Paris] and say we have nothing to play for, but we're going to have to be better than we were today.

"They have a lot to play for and we're going to go over there to try and beat them on their home pitch."
