The Telegraph said it was "a win for Warren Gatland’s experimental Wales team then, but not one of which to be particularly proud”.
It was all rather messy and confusing – in keeping with a game which started brightly enough for Wales but descended into a dreadfully stodgy affair”, The Telegraph said.
Wales congratulated Georgian 'Lelos' after their tenacious performance this afternoon in Cardiff.

Playing against Wales for the first time, the visitors did indeed make a good impression against Gatland's men, who they had hanging on for victory at the end”, BBC added.
