Yeah Wales, Tippy's having a great game. The Welsh boys need to watch though, they've made a few errors, knock ons etc.

Ian Evans and Ryan Jones making all the handling errors...

thats unexpected.

Harry owes Mils a pint after the match.

Here we go again! aaah noooo....maybe not.

I am liking this game so far- wales running from deep. The way to do it

Good breakdown work from Wales.

Bishop should have passed to the winger, not inside.

Proper test rugby so far. Not like a Baa-baas game at all...

...look out Harry!!!

ah that was so close, Sanjay would have been under the sticks then!


Liking this start by Wales, glad Rhodri is settling into the scrums.

Well done Robinson, getting out of that spot. Baabas in with a chance here now though, they're on the attack. Saved by Tippy!

Scrum is far better than I expected with Rh.Jones going well on tighthead.

Tipuric scores a try! No wait...that the touchline.

Sensible play by the no7.

Ian Evans, beautiful

Good catch Ianto!

Enjoying this game so far

Haven't seen anything of Aled Brew yet. It's all Robinson's side so far.

Sorry that was a late tackle mr commentator!

Shane trying to touch the ball as much as possible in 80minutes.

Keep up the commentary guy!

Bloody apple and their no flashplayer!!!

Gill was on his feet then! That should have been a Wales penalty, but Rolland wasn't looking.

Luckily Donald is a muppet

When he should be marking Harry R!

Good touchfinder from Biggar, just what Wales needed.

Rhodri Jones is doing damn well, I was quite sceptical when I saw the team but hes holding up well, and Duncan is no slouch so maybe hes got a future at tight head.

That was a bum kick from Donald.

Knackered - it's 10 - 0. Biggar's just done a super kick to give Wales some territory. Jiffy getting shirty with Rolland

Poorly controlled maul in the end. :/

Oh there's Brew...just done a decent tackle on Shane.

Yep, I though the Welsh scrum would be under pressure, but so far Rh.Jones has been excellent - hoping it continues (should be enough for him to make the plane at this rate - Bevington might miss out)

Hooky going for the sticks.

Hook kicking for points. 13 - 0.

Couldn't we take both Rhodri and Bevington?

Then we'd have Geth and Ad as first chocie and oh actually Gill is back up to geth isn't he? and then Rhods as back up to Adam.

Aye you're right sorry, Bevington could miss out.

Hookster(?) kicking beautifully. Shane having a bit of a 'mare.

Who the hell is that Baa-baas No.7!!!?

Hooks kicking is looking good - Will be a decent 1/2p replacement by the look of it.

Well the Baabas not looking threatening at the moment. They're on the attack now. Let's see if they can get something....yep, Donald scores!

13 - 5.

Yep, Gill seems to be in favour over Bevington.

Baabaas try for Donald, clever passing.

13 - 7 after donald converts his own try.

Cheers guys, hope it will be on I player later

Knackered - I'll PM you some links, you could try them. They don't all use Flashplayer?

Excellent test match rugby so far. Much better than expected.

ah dang I thought kick off was 2:30, lol. I was in the gym I was wondering why I was the only person there and everyone seemed to vanish!

Ah well at leats I can watch the first 20 on I player later

Another awful attempt at a maul gives away an attacking opportunity for Wales

Gogodza on Brew. Ouch.

Brew smashes Nacewa then runs into touch

There being mean and not letting Shane score!

Ryan Jones playing brilliantly behind a retreating scrum, fair play.

Can I get a link too please?

The Georgian fella I can't remember his name, sounds like Gorgonzola, which is a cheese....

Baabas on the attack again. Oh no...maybe a yellow card coming. Gill in the bin. Can't boo that.

baabaas starting to really get into this game. yellow card for welshie , that should have been a pen try surely !!

Rhys Gill yellow carded :/

Surprised its not red with Rolland reffing

cant give that try if you cant see it

L.Williams arm under the ball?
