Looks like Wales are going to target our kick offs - don't blame them!

by **RDW** Sat 13 Feb 2016, 4:56 pm

Every Welsh kick has caused carnage

by gog1992 Sat 13 Feb 2016, 4:57 pm

Clancy is so pedantic.

by A Simply Mesmeric Try Sat 13 Feb 2016, 4:58 pm

Can we not get any luck Sad

by Shifty Sat 13 Feb 2016, 4:58 pm

great start Smile

by **RDW** Sat 13 Feb 2016, 4:58 pm

What was Seymour doing when chasing him? He ran away from him at one point!

by TightHEAD Sat 13 Feb 2016, 4:59 pm

Better game already from the other dross that was on today

by **RDW** Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:00 pm

Well that was stupid from Davies!

by offload Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:01 pm

Patience and composure and Wales will walk this. Mustn't get carried away though and can't let Scotland settle.

by Cyril Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:03 pm

Decent game this.

Seymour makes up for his earlier error.

by **RDW** Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:03 pm

Much better from Scotland!

Laidlaw a threat for once!

by wales606 Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:03 pm

Gareth Davies may have finished his try well, but he has just cost us one there.

Was poor last week and needs to improve today or I would start Lloyd next game

by Shifty Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:04 pm

great try best play i have seen from scotland for a long time.

by Duty281 Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:04 pm

Brilliant riposte from Scotland, after an electric Welsh start.

Great start to the game - please, for the love of the Northern Hemisphere, keep it up.

by offload Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:05 pm

What do I know? Good try Scotland.

by **RDW** Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:08 pm

Mauls or so frustrating - most refs would say that was pulled down

by cakeordeath Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:08 pm

Clancy is a fud

by Cyril Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:08 pm

How is that not a penalty? Good old Clancy Laugh

by cakeordeath Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:10 pm

How many points but Ford cost us per game?

by **RDW** Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:14 pm

Barclay shouldn't have kicked that!!

by **RDW** Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:15 pm

All Scotland since the Wales try.

Need to build a lead given we don't score 2nd half points!

by Shifty Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:15 pm

clancy baffles me lol

by wales606 Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:15 pm

Wales not doing well Crying or Very sad

by Cyril Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:15 pm

Scotland playing pretty well. Exposing a lot more gaps in the Welsh defence than Ireland were able to. Seymour doing well under the high ball.

by **RDW** Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:16 pm

Clancy letting the Welsh do whatever the hell they want in the mauls!

by ALPanorak Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:17 pm

Fantastic game so far...unlike that earlier debacle. This is more like the new-look Scotland we expected to see last week. Will be tough to maintain the current tempo and intensity but it's good stuff for the time being!

by A Simply Mesmeric Try Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:19 pm

Clownshoes Sad

I'm going to start a petition for Nigel Owens to be cloned. Wouldn't help us in any case as we're playing Wales...

Seymour is having a game!

by **RDW** Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:20 pm

Huge blow is Hogg goes off

by cakeordeath Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:21 pm

Come one Rhubarb

by Shifty Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:21 pm

Hogg laster 5 minutes longer than last time he visited cardiff

by Cyril Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:22 pm

Scotland besting Wales in the breakdown.

by gog1992 Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:22 pm

Warbuton and Tipuric are so Poopie at the breakdown. (powerpuff)

by **RDW** Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:22 pm

Great turnover Hardie

by **RDW** Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:24 pm

My worry here is we're yet to see anything from Wales - their time will come

by Pot Hale Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:24 pm

Greg Laidlaw is the business.

Should be the Lions scrum half.

by **RDW** Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:26 pm

Desperately need to sort the lineout - when we do win it it's crap ball

by Cowshot Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:29 pm

Very entertaining game so far. Congratulations to both sides.

Vital 5 mins...

by ALPanorak Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:32 pm

Has Laidlaw ever been good at delivering quick ball...man seems to have no sense of urgency too often

by wales606 Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:33 pm

Wales are making terrible decisions all over the park, though G.Davies making lots by himself

by **RDW** Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:33 pm

Very well marshalled last few minutes from Scotland - happy with that half!

Apart from Hogg going off

by Cyril Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:33 pm

Enjoying this game.

Scotland deserve that lead.

by wales606 Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:34 pm

Agree, they have both been very disappointing so far. Got nothing at the breakdown last week, but at least forced Ireland to throw in numbers

by Shifty Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:36 pm

Scotland playing as well as they possibly can. Wales are in second gear. Half time rocket from edwards and gatland now and hopefullly we can pull away from them

by Pot Hale Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:36 pm

Yep. Scotland so far showing that RWC was not a fluke.

Much better than the hiberno-gallic dirge from earlier.

by cakeordeath Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:36 pm

Just waiting on the usual Scottish 2nd half disaster

by Cowshot Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:37 pm

I don't understand all the stick Laidlaw gets. Perhaps it's because I've only really seen him at Gloucester. I rate him. Unflappable, good service from the base when it's on, a few good breaks and running the Scottish game. He needs a good 10 outside him to take some of the load to bring the best out of him.

by TJ Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:37 pm

Does anyone else feel we are just setting ourselves up for the heroic defeat?
Scotland however are looking a bit more like it. got to stop trying to maul tho - if Clancy is allowing a lot of freedom in the mauls then we have to not use them
What happened to Maitland?

by Pot Hale Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:38 pm

Hope not. A Scottish away victory would do wonders for the tournament.

Go away troll - you really are a twerp aren't you.

by majesticimperialman Sat 13 Feb 2016, 5:39 pm

Scotland playing a lot better this week than last week that's for sure Great try for Scotland Scotland can at least score try's then..

Wales not pliying any different than normal. Great try from davies, although questionable if it should of been given or not.

Scotland 3 points in front at half time. Wales, Wales need to change their tactics if they are going to win.
