[Morgannwg]

That was such a poor half from Wales.

[nathan]

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

i think he thought Phillips had picked it up and was out.

[Cari]

Well done Wales...pass to fresh air, but at least Big Jim gives away another stupid penalty which is kickable.

12-13 at HT.

[wales606]

Wales domination in the scrum is nullified by Joubert playing the lottery game

[B91212]

For someone so big Jim H must have a small brain rattling around inside his head

[LeinsterFan4life]

What a dreadful game of rugby.

The joys of 6n rugby.

This six nations i think Wales have had the best scrum.

nathan

I'm wrong mate, Biggar had gone blind and there were numbers, Hamilton might have played that nicely in all fairness!!!

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

beefy I couldn't put it better myself!

[Morgannwg]

Joubert carrying on from the England game then.

Carry on from the RWC final you mean. He's been gash ever since. Apart from the scrum lottery I haven't much complaint today.

[nathan]

What a dreadful game of rugby.

The joys of 6n rugby.

Ireland have contributed to it, don't you worry!

[100%beefy]

Wales x Scotland + Joubert = drudgery

[EnglishReign]

Scotland should be using their awesome backs more but some of the kicks for territory have been good. Then they go and give a pen away...

[LeinsterFan4life]

Nathan of couese Ireland have contributed. The 6n is made of 6 teams isn't it.

[LondonTiger]

Joubert carrying on from the England game then.

Carry on from the RWC final you mean. He's been gash ever since. Apart from the scrum lottery I haven't much complaint today.

His first match at RWC11, England v Argentina was one of the worst performances I have ever seen by a ref.

your posting in a scotland, wales thread. Go post that in a 6 nations thread....

[Cari]

Well the first ten minutes or so weren't that bad, but like a pint of milk left in the sun, it's gone off and turned into a stinker. I hope things improve in the second half or we're in for a long 40 minutes...

[RuggerBoy]

Bloody 'ell, my ticker is struggling, I just hope Leigh's boot get a bit of a half time talking to because I've a feeling we're going to need in in top form for the second half.

[monty junior]

What a crap half, we still can't hang on to the ball and lost our best player to serious injury. Never gave the ball to the backs once, dejavu

[thebluesmancometh]

Scotland seemed to have reverted to England style 2003, hoof it and live off scraps, Ireland were mugged and Wales are in trouble of getting done too.

But someone will be smart enough to know whats coming soon and Scotland will be buried by a cricket score, it's a dangerous game to play, unless Howleys in charge at half time then you might as well give it a crack!!!

I tell you what though if Scotland hadn't made a few silly mistakes they could be ahead here!!!

[Cyril]

Dreadful game. Come on, let's have a bit of entertaintment!

Let's hope the other two games are better.

[Cari]

I tell you what though if Scotland hadn't made a few silly mistakes they could be ahead here!!!

Not really if you go by the statistics.

[thebluesmancometh]

Oh come on Cyril, Scotland are playing Englands gameplan, lets give credit to them they are killing the game against a better team, playing off the boot and living off scraps.

Scotland are still in this game, and thats just what they wanted!!

[yappysnap]

If I was a Welsh fan I wouldn't be too worried yet, it's pretty similar to the WalesvEngland game of last season and look what happened there

[LeinsterFan4life]

Dreadful game. Come on, let's have a bit of entertaintment!

Let's hope the other two games are better.

you have to post this in the 6N thread according to nathan.

[thebluesmancometh]

Cari

Go check NZ stats over the last 10 years, it doesn't reflect their results!!!

[nathan]

Dreadful game. Come on, let's have a bit of entertaintment!

or in your case, just don't post at all....

[thebluesmancometh]

Irish women are champs by round 4...

[cakeordeath]

I just can't see Scotland winning this game, which makes me sad.

Also Joubert is awful.

[Guest]

I guess we are fortunate to score our try, as obviously it came indirectly from a missed kick. We are offering a bit more, but I do think Scotland will take this as it's so tight. Going to be an edgy second forty

[Cyril]

Oh come on Cyril, Scotland are playing Englands gameplan, lets give credit to them they are killing the game against a better team, playing off the boot and living off scraps.

bluesman, you're like a slightly more polite view, gowershowerpower etc.

You're not actually offensive, but you are a total wum.

[EnglishReign]

Scotland seemed to have reverted to England style 2003, hoof it and live off scraps, Ireland were mugged and Wales are in trouble of getting done too.

Not really, we scored more tries than anyone else in 6N 2003 (18). I don't see Scotland doing the same...

[Guest]

That Irish 15 is a big old goose for a fullback mind.

ok

[100%beefy]

Jesus wales, you are the team of Frak dum Frak penalties

[LeinsterFan4life]

Another penalty!!! When can we watch some rugby?

[Cari]

Good news for Gray - apparently it was a hamstring injury. Not good news for Wales...here's another Laidlaw penalty...

It just falls short.

[thebluesmancometh]

How am I a wum, by claiming the high % kicking game is proving effective, and how is it not similar to Englands high % kicking style???

Wheres the wum there? And please don't compare me to those **** because there are just as many English equivilants (not Irish or Scot wierdly) not that i'd mention you in any way mate

[Cari]

Bread of Seven forces a penalty shock!

[100%beefy]

Warburton come on in the 2nd half at last

[ironrobson21]

Warburton turnover!, I remember them.

[wales606]

The scottish players didn't seem to realise Warbs was there!

[wales606]

Phillips is having a good game

[Cari]

Wasn't there a Welsh knock on there? Oh well...

[yappysnap]

Scotland seemed to have reverted to England style 2003, hoof it and live off scraps, Ireland were mugged and Wales are in trouble of getting done too.

Not really, we scored more tries than anyone else in 6N 2003 (18). I don't see Scotland doing the same...

Don't let facts get in the way of some peoples (wrong) views

[Cari]

Harsh penalty for Beattie?

[wales606]

Nice use of Roberts as a dummy in that play

[Cyril]

Wheres the wum there? And please don't compare me to those ****

You are exactly the same as view etc. As I said, you're a bit more polite though. You still post pretty much the same though.

[thebluesmancometh]

Sealing off???? NO CHANCE!!!!

Knock on from Murray yes, no chance is that sealing off!!

[Cari]

Halfpee kicks for a penalty...

12-16 at 46 minutes.

[wales606]

Captain Jones injured :/
