Solomons' joy at Gilchrist return

Gilchrist is coming back from an ankle injury and climbed off the bench at the start of the second half at Murrayfield to help inspire his side back from a 20-10 deficit to draw 20-20.

And Solomons was full of praise for the influence wielded by the eight-times capped lock as tries from Tim Visser and Phil Burleigh saw his side snatch a draw against their Welsh opposition.

"Gilcho made a big difference," said Solomons. "He is just going to get better and better and will make a huge difference to our line-out.

"In the end we were unlucky not to come away with a win. The first half was difficult because we had no territory and we lost a number of line-outs and gave away a lot of penalties.

"For a quarter of the game we played with 14 men which doesn't help. As the game went on we got better and better and were unlucky not to win."
