Scotland ace Stuart Hogg laments 'ill-discipline' in Wales Six Nations loss

The visitors to BT Murrayfield produced a comeback in the second half to win the Six Nations clash 25-24.

They were aided by Scotland going down to 14 men when Zander Fagerson was sent off, plus the home side giving up easy penalties.

“We're bitterly disappointed,” Hogg, who scored two tries, told BBC.

"For large parts of that game we were very much in control of it. We looked the dominant side, especially in the first half and we started to be ill-disciplined.

"For us, giving away a couple of penalties is fine, four on the bounce is unacceptable. We’ve gone from one end of the field to the other conceding seven points within a couple of minutes and that’s international rugby. You can’t let a team like Wales get easy, cheap field positions because they are going to punish you.”

He added: “I think, for us, it’s a vital lesson to stay disciplined throughout. It hurts right now, and rightly so.”

Hogg refused, however, to place blame on Ferguson following his red card.

He said: “I think it would be wrong of me to single out a man, I’m not about that.

"For us we talked a lot about discipline going into that game and that’s something that has let us down to today.

“We’ll learn from it. It’s vital we learn and learn quick and we get ready to go again in a couple of weeks.”
