Scotland v Wales is on BBC One

Ref just not bothering to penalise Wales off their feet?

Is handling in the ruck allowed these days?

Breakdown could be a mess today as ref seems quite happy with players messing around with the ball when clearly not supporting their own weight ... hope he sorts it out as this has the potential to be a nice fast flowing match.

Nip and tuck so far

Ritchie off for a HIA, Watson on

Wales offside at lineout

Russell goes for goal

Aye not much in it - important to get the first points

Straight and true

3-0 Scotland

Far too much easy ground made out wide

Hint of a forward pass? Doesn't look like they're checking.

Great finish

Another soft try, Kinghorn misses the tackle

Well that was a bit way. Part great finish, part horrendous defence

Did Moriarty really just try and mark a kick off?? 

Fraser Brown on for Watson, who is off for blood

Gareth Davies having a bit of a mare so far!

Wales going to get a card soon!

Darcy Graham! That's the spark he gives.

Lots of welsh penalties.

Darcy Graham seem comfortable at international level!

We needed to keep the tempo up - as soon as the ball slowed down and wales were set I knew we wouldn't score.

Tommy S off, looks like an arm injury

Most ill-disciplined display from them so far in the tournament.

Both Cockers and Toonie have held him back at times this season and tried to ease him in gently, and he's shown them both they needn't have bothered!

The collisions are huge

The last time a jake ball was on the park at Murrayfield was when Edinburgh had a visit from Glasgow

Good kick by Anscombe

10-6 Wales

Has Kinghorn borrowed Denton's hands?

When is AWJ going to get pinged for tacking player out beyond the ruck?

What is it with Scotland and injuries this tournament??

We need Hogg back ASAP

They've certainly not had much luck in that department ...

So, is there anything good on CBBC? 

This is going to get ugly!

Kinghorn is gubbed

Another good try, 23 phases. It told in the end

Shades of the England match there with 20 plus phases. Relentless stuff from Wales.

Not looking good for Scotland ...

I have zero confidence in Kinghorn defence

We need to score next or it will be a long afternoon!

Another change - now Kinghorn off

32 minutes and I've just noticed Finn Russell is playing

Hastings on for Kinghorn

Scotland could run out of replacements at this rate.

So navidi is playing it off his feet and the ref just says leave it now - what about making the offence in the first place that slowed the ball down?

Yep - as I said earlier he seems happy to let players off their feet interfere with the ball for some reason ..

Plenty of Scotland indiscipline now too.

It’s the part of rugby I hate when the team with momentum gets the ref on side. We’re a terribly unlucky team and we need to be smarter at playing to the style the ref is managing the game

Absolute nonsense penalty on Ritchie - you know it's bad when Williams points it out in the first place!

That was tough on Ritchie

It is not our day

Come on ref you’re killing us!

How ironic ...
