poor line out throw gives away advantage
Can we blame the wind for that one?
They kick for touch, Scotland steals the Wales lineout
Scotland misses a very kickable penalty
Welsh errors giving Scotland breathing space.
Wales tackling the Scotts back, behind the advantage line
Welsh players faster than the ball!
Relieving Scotland penalty
Good turn-over by Wales… followed by a charged kick
Mike Phillips has been slow to clear so far… and has a kak looping pass
Blood on the Wales hooker’s ear…
One thing never lacking in these Home nations matches is the passion and pride. There is never any standing back or not giving your all. Just too much history between these teams.
That’s better from Wales
Wales Free kick, from an attacking scrum
Jeeez, Mike Phillips duffs another pass
Bad kick upfield by Wales
41@ The_Young_Turk:You’re right, they throw everything at it!
Heard a good saying yesterday… you’re supposed to pass FOR the player, not TO the player
Defense up very quick and hard. Wales look better on attack but Scotland’s defense is more than up to it so far. Can it last…..
@ grootblousmile:
That’s an awful saying!
France, take note – retractable roof = no frozen pitch. Look and learn
Penalty Wales… kickable but they go for touch… and find a good one
Wales need to get Matfield, their lineout is kak.
Relieving Scotland penalty, wheeling of the scrum by Wales.
I see Birtie is here somewhere… come chat fella!
Fark, that was sooo ponderous by the Scottish scrummie… so undecided
Howzit Birtie
Scotland doing well here, and now advantage Ecosse
Very easy Scotland penalty, they HAVE to go for goal
Scotland 3 / 0 Wales, as Laidlaw slots it
Scotland draw first blood.
