Hadden watched his side outmuscled and outclassed as last year's Grand Slam champions ran riot at Murrayfield.

He said: "I haven't seen us look so passive or tentative. The last time I saw that was South Africa 2006."

The 26-13 scoreline failed to tell the story of a game Wales dominated, touching down through Tom Shanklin, Alun-Wyn Jones, Leigh Halfpenny and Shane Williams.

Scotland's only try was a late consolation from substitute Max Evans.

Asked why they were so comprehensively outmanoeuvred up front, Hadden said: "That's one of the things that we're going to have to look at very closely during the course of the week.

"There could be a number of reasons for that. It could be technical problems. But, for me, it just seemed as if we were too passive.

"Maybe they're thinking too hard about the shape instead of just getting wired in.

"It's early days in this competition. You can never be sure how you're going to start.

"One thing I do know is that we'll definitely get better."
