Someone bit the bullet and did what we all said should happen, they subbed AWJ.

by king_carlos Sat 13 Feb 2021, 18:27

What a player Louis Rees-Zammit is. He just strides away from Hogg and Duhan there. Hogg and Duhan. Ridiculous speed and skill.

by **BigGee** Sat 13 Feb 2021, 18:27

God Sheady has missed 2 sitters now

1 point game

by hugehandoff Sat 13 Feb 2021, 18:28

Wales certainly miss JD (and HP)

by Guest Sat 13 Feb 2021, 18:28

A lot more zip from wales since Hardy and Sheedy came on.

by hugehandoff Sat 13 Feb 2021, 18:29

Awesome try

by mikey_dragon Sat 13 Feb 2021, 18:30

Very poor if Wales stop trying to score now. Russell, VDM and Hogg are making mince out of us.

by tigertattie Sat 13 Feb 2021, 18:34

Why price???? Why?????

LRZ MoM

can't argue with that

If he didn't slip then he had Russell on his shoulder with men outside. So unfortunate for him. Hoggy has been sublime yet again today.

Stupid Tompkins!

For intercepting then player not getting in support fast enough?

by **BigGee** Sat 13 Feb 2021, 18:41

Well done Wales

A great game but can't argue with the result

by king_carlos Sat 13 Feb 2021, 18:41

What a match.

I would describe that as rugby.

by TheMildlyFranticLlama Sat 13 Feb 2021, 18:41

The purest embodiment of Scottish rugby. I just can’t....

Congrats Wales, well fought and a big win

by TightHEAD Sat 13 Feb 2021, 18:41

Wales will lose when they play a team with xv on the field

by mikey_dragon Sat 13 Feb 2021, 18:41

Thank feic for that, Tompkins literally tackles like a fairy I can’t stand to watch him any more. Important win but Wales are poor and this just prolongs Pivac’s career.

Scotland did well but good god they’re probably the unluckiest team in world rugby.

by Duty281 Sat 13 Feb 2021, 18:41

Hogg's slip was like against New Zealand all those years ago.

Fantastic game. Again an idiotic action from one individual player costs his side the match.

by tigertattie Sat 13 Feb 2021, 18:42

Omg a thought Duhan was going to get there

I’m knackered

Utterly gutted that one moment of idiocy cost us the game and a real chance at the title

by Gooseberry Sat 13 Feb 2021, 18:42

This is what the 6 nations is all about. Will go down as an all time classic. Really feel for Scotland, they deserved that more than Ireland.

by **NeilyBroon** Sat 13 Feb 2021, 18:42

Well done Wales, I really hate watching Scotland play you Crying or Very sad

No we were talking about the other 79 minutes.

Unlucky Scotland. The red card probably lost you the game. With 15 men I think it would have been your win.

He's a tasty looking player. Would really wind the Boks up if he made the lions tour.

Looked good to me. Think hes a 13 rather than 12 but a step up from the other options wales have.

Great match - excellent attitude and skills from both sides. very well done.

Really?! He seemed to really struggle for me. Made no ground, knocked on, got turned over, got held up twice with choke tackles leading to 2 scrums to Scotland. Not good. The only good thing he did was an interception which resulted in him getting turned over.

by MonkeyMan Sat 13 Feb 2021, 18:48

I just hope the Welsh player is ok after that disgraceful play from that Zander for Scotland

by **BigGee** Sat 13 Feb 2021, 18:48

Well if we did not know it before, then we can be sure now that LRZ is going to be a very special player

I'm not sure being turned over/choke tackles are ever the fault of the carrier though. At the very least a shared thing.. think hes a cracking player but not being used as he should.

by JDizzle Sat 13 Feb 2021, 18:51

Lots of things that aren’t right for Wales - but six tries in two games (albeit against 14 men) with minimal visits to the opposition 22 is a clinical side we’ve not seen in god knows how long. Always been an Achilles heel under Gatland. There is definite signs of progress in that side of things.

Got man handled every time he carried, that’s when he didn’t drop it and simply cannot defend. Too small and out of his depth. Time to bring in Doc Roberts or Kieran Williams. Halaholo is in now so if North returns then Tompkins will be out of the 23.

An Ireland win tomorrow will make for a very interesting tournament Smile

Really sore one that.

First thing is definitely the red card. As someone who has had head injuries and a rugby ending knee injury it showed something fundamentally wrong with our game today. Jack Willis suffered a season ending injury, maybe (God forbid) a career ender. Wyn Jones wouldn't have known he'd been hit unless you told him. Zander Fagerson walked and Negri didn't. It seemed the ref wanted to give the card, and the rules are such that he was well within his rights to send him off. Sensible rugby decisions should come into play.

Gary Graham talks a good game but frankly from the moment Blade Thomson went off we were up against it. He was the square root of useless. Still as soon as we got 14 points ahead we seemed to forget everything that we'd been doing well up to that more. We seem to find moments in games when we just give the ball to one of our exciting backs and expect the defence to open up.

I'm really not good at being gracious in defeat despite the practice, but well done Wales - Alun Wyn Jones showed his class in the interview afterwards.

Man. I'd still love him for england.

by mikey_dragon Sat 13 Feb 2021, 18:58

And we would still love Varney for Wales.

by Recwatcher16 Sat 13 Feb 2021, 19:01

Scotland should have won that game, but they gave Wales too much space and that young lad is lightning.
Stone cold red card - you simply cannot take a run up to a ruck and straight off your feet anymore, although it has always been in the laws, as any head contact will now get a card. WP Nel is a better scrummager.
Scotland supporters should get a medal for the annual frustrations !!
