Great shot of SJ there... He looks dejected, I hope Vern does a much better job than he has.

Finally Wales score again. Williams has had a great debut but he will have a few tougher games I suspect.

Tell you what - if it was a Wales player sent off there would be absolutely no chance that Scotland would have scored so many points.

Re: Wales v Scotland, 15 March
They've done well to stem the haemorraging of points in the second half.
Wales have shown that there is still a lot to look forward to after last week. Probably took the pressure off and let them play their natural game. They are still a very, very good side (despite what others might say)... they just need to play with the same intensity against SA in a few months time.
Try!!! Nice regather and put down... on the side of his face!

What is refreshingly different about wales is that they are hungry, haven't sat on a massive winning margin but still trying to score tries

Some selection problems for Gatland but that 1st half picks itself I think. 1/2 penny instead of Cuthburt only change I would make.

Well congratulations to Wales... and their loyal fans on here. That was a thoroughly emphatic win.
and some for Cari.
Commiserations to RDW, GC, ASBO and Co.
Hopefully when you expel that Aussie fool you'll be looking upwards again.
(I feel so embarrassed.... no team, let alone a national one deserves that)

Re: Wales v Scotland, 15 March
Well I'm turning my back on Scottish Rugby. There have been no positives at all in recent years and this is the icing on the cake. If this had been Murrayfield after half time there'd have only been a few thousand Welsh left, seriously. We're a laughing stock and really should let Georgia take our place. There comes a time when enough is just enough.

Re: Wales v Scotland, 15 March
Does Duncan Weir struggle with the concept of an overlap? That's 2 matches in a row where he's just had to put it through the hands to give us a good chance of scoring a try but he's panicked and done something daft. Bit of a worry, as you'd tend to forgive young, inexperienced players for mistakes but in return you really expect to see evidence that they learn from those mistakes

Fans don't turn their back Nematode, look at that awesome guy leading your anthem in the crowd, must have shelled out to travel/ticket/hotel....still smiling and behind the boys, when the team is under the cosh that is when a real fan stands up.

All I can say to Scottish fans at this point is hang in there. I know it's hard... and yes, I would be wallowing in despair too if that was Wales losing in such fashion. It's times like these that test your duty as a supporter.
Not a bad home record for Wales in the last 2 years: record wins over England, France and now Scotland!

Because FANS will bring it back. There is an unwritten covenant as a fan, you enjoy the good times and stick it when it's bad, leave in droves and your sport will dissolve in front of your eyes and it will be you as much as the management who contributed to it

Re: Wales v Scotland, 15 March
The fact is this has happened again and again. "Bye Scotland. Oh ok then, I'll give you another try..." Call me a glory hunter for jumping ship, a disloyal, poor fan, but this is the final straw. #lackingclue Who have we beaten in the past years? Italy, Japan, ...? Enough's enough.
Given there's people and players earning 6 figure sums - and will continue to do so - in the SRU, I'm no longer handing over my hard-earned £20 for a ticket, extortionate amounts for food and a fare to go through this.
There's been NO progress. Unless Scottish fans boycott Murrayfield they'll be no change in the SRU setup and we'll fall even further.
Put it this way. You can continue the misery, continue foreign fans being more vocal at Murrayfield and wasting away your money OR you can go down to the pub with your mates and i) have a good chat ii) watch the big boys play proper rugby.

I like to think of it as this. I invest my time (watching games, travelling) and money (tickets, rugby subs etc) in watching Scotland. In return I expect the SRU to properly manage the team and the players to play to an acceptable level. This hasn't happened for years.
We don't deserve to be in the 6 Nations. Not because of this years results, but because of the continued mismanagement of the game in Scotland. Rugby in Scotland is dying a long slow painful death.

Unfortunately in this case there is only 1 stat that counts:
red cards 0 : 1
Most sides would struggle to capitalise on possession and territory when playing for 60 minutes with a man down

I don't agree, why should we blindly follow the omni-shambles that is Scottish rugby.
Because FANS will bring it back. There is an unwritten covenant as a fan, you enjoy the good times and stick it when it's bad, leave in droves and your sport will dissolve in front of your eyes and it will be you as much as the management who contributed to it
What good times
Not judging you mate, just saying STICK IT, all sides come good eventually, look at Wales!!!
Exactly. Some of us remember the late 90s/early 00s... *shudders*
