Halfpenny steps up, pressure on, and he duffs it again. Oh dear
Off the post… phweeeew
56 @ Just For Kicks:
Not watched enough yet to see Scotland doing much yet JFK but it was well known before the game that Wales would play a game of kicking the high ball a lot.
North with a great run
What a good run there by George North, come on Scotland keep them out!
Try!!!
OK fellas, this is where I leave you for Super Rugby… does not seem like Stormersboy has pitched at the Press Box at Newlands yet.
The talk in the build up to the game this morning was how BIG the Wales team were and it seems like their physicality won through there, try for Hibbard.
Good driving stuff. Too much for Scotland. And Richard Hibbard goes over
Hibbard has been talked up in the week by Scotland coach Scott Johnson as a potential Lions player
at last, Halfpenny slots one.
Scotland 6 / 10 Wales (23 min)
Ag no why another penalty
Super lineout steal by Scotland!
Think Scotland’s reign may be thwarted at this point
67 @ grootblousmile:
Ok cheers GBS hope thats a good game and that Stormers win there.
Penalty at the scrum to Scotland as scrum collapsed, gosh Craig Joubert was quick on that one, Laidlaw should go for goal
Penalty Scotland after some handbags, and the ever reliable Laidlaw slots it with ease
74 @ Just For Kicks:
Still very early JFK if we can just get some momentum and play in Wales territory we will get the points like we just have with a good kick from Laidlaw, Scotland 9 – 10 Wales.
Scotland 9 / 10 Wales (27 min)
Great kick by Weir takes play well into Wales 22 for a Welsh lineout
78 @ Bullscot:Scotland just need to start playing their game, and stop with the silly penalties, and then they will certainly be in with a chance. The cynical stuff must stop though.
Richie Grey looks to be in trouble on his back, and Wales get a penalty from that lineout after some silly play by Scotland taking out Wales supporter/jumper
Richie Gray off after that line out
Al Kellock on for injured Richie Grey who is still on the ground getting attention, commentators seem to think he hurt his left leg.
All the best Richie, hope its not too serious, the cart is on to take him off
Hopefully no too serious
They do tend to take a lot of care at Murrayfield with the injured so hopefully that was what that was, just precaution, and that its not a bad as it seems for Richie Grey, never like seeing players leaving the field injured.
Great lineout steal from Alastair Kellock with his first touch. ends in a scrum to Scotland
Scotland really struggling at scrum time this week
Wales over powering Scotland on their own scrum
