Photo: ReutersWales winger George North and centre Jonathan Davies scored tries as they earned a scrappy 21-10 victory over Six Nations rivals Scotland on Saturday in the opening game of their November series. Fullback Leigh Halfpenny kicked three penalties and a conversion as Wales seized on errors from the visitors to claim a sixth win in succession for the first time since 2012. Halfpenny kicked three penalties inside the opening 20 minutes as referee Mathieu Raynal from France punished Scotland for repeated indiscretions in what was a poor opening quarter. After Scotland had replied with a penalty of their own, earned at the first scrum of the game, Wales pressed home their territorial superiority with the opening try.
