Uwic winger Poolman scored a minute before half-time and Wales managed to hold on for the remaining minutes.

The match had to be switched from Pontypridd to Treforst because of a frozen pitch at Sardis Road.

Wales lost heavily in their opening match against England last week, while the Scots were also out-played as they fell to France.
