Is anybody going to the Wales v Scotland match on the 25?
I’ve got tickets – as well as a large credit card bill now! – and am just wondering what time I should get there.
Kick off is 2.25pm.

2.25pm

*RAGE!*

What’s wrong with 1430? Or even better, on the hour? These stupid KO times ……

Aye, crazy.

I hope it’s not a trend of copying Wendy with silly kick offs.

First late hit on Connor? 10 – 12 minutes, whatcha wanna do?

My predictions:

Ireland too strong for Scotland playing a forward based power game around slow ball – hope I’m wrong. I’d love to see a Glasgow style running rugby fest give Scotland the win.

England to just edge France after a close match.

Wales end up comfortably beating Italy probably after not really playing for at least a half.

Done cycling, on couch, have beer here we go. England to win by 10 points over France. Ireland the same over Scotland.

Game over for Scotland if they can’t sort that scrum.

Yep Scottish scrum getting battered

Bad news that’s happened so early in the competition when they’ve yet to face the French & English scrums. Could be a sore point in a few weeks.

Oh hold on – great Try!!

Best has the yips throwing in at the line out big time,

Scrumis aworry for Scotland, but they’re looking petty damn good in the open spaces. Second try for everyone’s favourite full back!

Great game so far!!

Good game

Ireland look scruffy.

Crikey!

Excellent finishing from Scotland – even if it means A Nicol will have run out of Kleenex – and good forthe neutral that Ireland have scored, Odd to see the Irish failing to take thieir earlier chances.

Wow, smart thinking there!!!! Excellent to see Scotlamd take their chances so well. Well played.

Ooh this is looking good for the Scots

3 Scotchish tries in one half of rugby? What sorcery has TJ created?

Scotland playing really well. Ireland look a bit one dimensional and inaccurate.

If Ireland sort the lineouts, this scrum dominance must count in the end.

Ireland very predictable – 1 out, bosh.

The scrum is about the only thing working for Ireland at the moment.

Scotland would be even better if Laidlaw stopped pointing and started passing instead.

What’s happened to lovely Iriah back play? . Its like England on a bad day. No pace on to the ball.

V well played Scotkand, battering the Irish when they have he ball

Why didn’t Zebo back his pace?

I need a wee lie down now.

Great first half – let’s hope it’s a sign for the whole championship!

Jeez. When I saw the scrum crumbling I thought we were going to get a pasting. Fantastic half. Still don’t ave the confidence to believe they’ll still be ahead at the end mind

England U20’s did a number n France earlier today – 57 17!

Scotland have missed a lot of tackles so far, but if they keep scoring tries they’ll be reet. Hopefully they’ll play with the and mindset after the break and not just defend a lead.

Flashy – there was a cover tackler for Zebo, hence the kick.

Heading out to an Irish bar here in San Fran for the second half, eng game and a full Irish brekkie!

Can we talk about lineout moves?

TJ goes into orbit 😆

Ah, hadn’t seen the replay!

Do you do NY at all, Dan?

Choosing between 77 and 74 for anow upcoming trip….

The Scots are playing with belief and confidence. They’re backing themselves to be able to open and exploit gaps.
I don’t know if we’re going to win, but the players don’t think they’re going to lose.
The Irish don’t believe they’re going to lose yet, but they’re nervous, going for the safe bang it in option – but the Scots defence so far are loving the tight hard tackling that offers.

Scotland have missed a lot of tackles so far

No they **** havent!!

That’s a different Ireland now

@ Flashy.

There’s been debate about who should be first on the Lions plane. Then you post that about Tipuric. Debate over.

I wonder if Scotland can keep up this level of physicallity in the tackle. The sheer amount of tackles will have to take there toll?

No they **** havent!!

According to the match stats they have. They’d missed 12 after 20 mins or so, which was a high percentage of their total tackles.

You sure that wasn’t Ireland? Iirc Scotland had missed 4.

Live stats on the 6N site shows 18 missed out of 114.

Then you post that about Tipuric.

I posted that a week or more ago!
