ROME : Wales coach Warren Gatland was left sweating over a nervous finish after a difficult second half but believes his side were full value for their 29-17 Six Nations victory over Italy in Rome on Saturday.
"There’s still a number of things to work on, but we deserved to win the game," Gatland told reporters. "I think a lot of players will learn a lot from today. Joe Hawkins carried well and got caught a bit defensively. There’s a lot of growth in those players." "I thought he was excellent in terms of decision-making and he kicked well," Gatland said."He hadn’t played at this level for a while so we weren’t sure when his legs would go. I thought it was a great contribution."
