Right, come on boys...keep the pressure on. Shame about the missed 9 points, but no matter...keep going.

by thebluesmancometh Sun Mar 10, 2013 1:57 am

Weir looking like he doesn't trust hid forwards or centres and keeps kicking ball away!!!

Hibbard doing his best to undo his try with 2 given away lineouts.

Scotlands forwards looking a bit lightweight at the minute

by thebluesmancometh Sun Mar 10, 2013 1:58 am

Now our scrum is clearly stronger, why would we take it down, it looks like Murrays slipped there... poor call

Llanelli boy, see... Whistle

Scottish penalty and some handbags... kiss

by 100%beefy Sun Mar 10, 2013 1:58 am

Is Warburton playing?

by 100%beefy Sun Mar 10, 2013 1:59 am

Laidlaw is going on tour!

by Cari Sun Mar 10, 2013 1:59 am

9-10 at 27 minutes. Jeez, Scotland could win this on penalty kicks alone.

by thebluesmancometh Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:00 am

Scotland doing their best to avoid any rugby today!!!

See, another good Scottish kick. Grey is down injured though. Not looking good.

by kiakahaaotearoa Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:00 am

Scotland's kicking has been good and poor. Mostly poor letting Wales back into the game. They've been fortunate that their few forays into Welsh territory they've come away with points.

by Cari Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:01 am

Oh dear...looks like Grey's had a nasty leg injury. Kellock on.

I agree. And the only scrums we've lost in this entire tournament is when the opposition slips but the ref decided to ping us. Such a lottery.

by nathan Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:02 am

Jiffy does have a weird way of saying things. Sounds sarcastic sometimes.

by Barney McGrew did it Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:03 am

Hibbard's timotei hair getting in his eyes i think - a touch more mousse Richie

by wales606 Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:03 am

Carbon copy of Sco v Ire - Missed kicks, dominating territory but Scotland are only a point behind

by monty junior Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:03 am

Getting sick of the amount of stupid penalties given away, no wonder we never have any possession

by nathan Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:03 am

Not good news for Sale.

by thebluesmancometh Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:04 am

Lottery it is morg!!

Oh dear this isn't looking good for Gray!!!

by Cari Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:05 am

I don't know about any of you, but I'm struggling to understand Cussiter sometimes. He speaks so quietly and quickly and his accent is strong.

Poor Ritchie Grey...sounds like a ligament problem. Hopefully it's not as bad as it seems.

by thebluesmancometh Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:05 am

3 lineouts now for Hibbard and co...

I HATE WELSH LINEOUTS.

by thebluesmancometh Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:06 am

No joubert tells laidlaw to put it in then calls a reset... Wales are clearly the stronger scrum, let them scrummage!!!

Good news for us as our lineout will probably misfire when playing you guys.

by majesticimperialman Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:07 am

Looks bad for Richie Grey at the moment.

Scotland well in this game. I was half expecting Wales to be well clear at this point.

Well they should be nine points up but there we are...

by thebluesmancometh Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:08 am

Is the wind with Scotland? Hogg and Laidlaw arent huge kickers but theyre making huge ground with the boot today!!

by Cari Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:09 am

Excellent work by Weir there. He didn't get the try, but as good as.

by 100%beefy Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:09 am

Warburton is done for me, anaonymous, get him off and the form player on NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

by nathan Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:10 am

Some lazy legs from Halfpenny there, good job they didnt connect

by thebluesmancometh Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:10 am

This kicking game from Scotland is infuriating, theyre offering nothing ball in hand and are opting to kick EVERYTHING!!!

But it's effective!!!

by thebluesmancometh Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:11 am

Joubert why would Scotland want that dead mate? That had to be an accidental go from both sides!!!

by Cari Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:11 am

...and Wales immediately get a free kick. Stupid kick from wales though, so Scotland are spared.

by **LondonTiger** Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:11 am

Joubert must be wearing fuffung beer goggles. Terrible ref.

by Cari Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:12 am

Jeez! even Jiffy said Joubert must've favoured Wales.

by nathan Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:12 am

Joubert carrying on from the England game then.

by thebluesmancometh Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:12 am

I think joubert has decided Wales are better at the breakdown and scrum, we now should get every decision from him, as he always see's a favourite

Now a Scotland pen??? WTF

by B91212 Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:13 am

I used to really rate Joubert as well

James didnt bind up, Joubert was correct in that instance.

by thebluesmancometh Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:13 am

Murray doesn't touch and James struggling with his bind because of it.

This game might turn into an absolute lottery!!

by Cari Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:14 am

Schitt. Once again a match dominated by the referee and nothing to do with either teams. I hate it when that happens. raspberry

12-10 at 38 minutes after another Laidlaw kick. He's winning this for Scotland.

Sadly I agree

by thebluesmancometh Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:14 am

Oh look Joubert is coaching both teams, it's the Joubert show!!

by Cari Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:15 am

Right, well both teams have had a good talking to before the scrum there...let's see if it helps...

Rubbish!!

Anyway, we'll agree to disagree!

by tigertattie Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:15 am

Scrum is a lottery with this ref.

And Scotland. Jeez. Keep the damm ball

by Cari Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:15 am

Oh OK...so he's spoken to all the forwards and pings the scrumhalf. picard

by B91212 Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:16 am

Even Brown & Jones are laughing together at the ineptitude of the handling of the scrum.

by thebluesmancometh Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:16 am

Hamilton is an absolute plonker, seconds to go and he does that???!!!

by **LondonTiger** Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:17 am

The players have been pretty rubbish as well Sad

by 100%beefy Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:17 am

GOD JOUBERT THIS JOUBERT IS JOUBERT A JOUBERT Poopie JOUBERT GAME JOUBERT
