I don't know what the linesman has been doing on the welsh put in, though.
It is clear that all Jones can see of Domingo is the number one upside down about a foot below his eyeline. However, since he was getting little support from the officials he has to just accept it and play the percentages.
Hibbard seems to have lost the pzazz he had in the autumn, but doing a good enough job and Owens is a fairly solid sub. Besterud is not causing any real problems to anyone.
Time to blow the whistle ASAP. A shite match, chiefly caused by the French not wanting to play rugby. The right result, a good stuffing despite it not being a try fest.
Rolland has not been brilliant, but he can't actually get in the middle of the front rows and force them to stay up if they don't want to. You can't make honey out of dog shit after all.
Hibbard put in a good shift but when he got tired his darts went. Owens is a good player.. Pleased for Jake Ball he put in a good tackling and rucking game too.
Well done Wales you can only play what's in front of you.
Lets hope for better watching tomorrow.
Real positive game, everyone was solid especially the forwards very impressed with ball and Webb fitting straight in, back to a good solid base to build on but not enough opposition to really test them.
Gives me a horrible decision to make tomorrow!

You know it makes sense! 😉
I'm 1/4 Irish so makes it even more difficult for me to want them to lose.
How can a stadium with a roof have such a poor pitch, nearly ruined the match. Surprised Adam Jones wasn't taken off sooner the worst game I've ever seen him play. Wales were simply good enough and very professional. A perfect example of how you're never sure which French team will turn up. Plisson is a talented young player but I thought that the dominance of non-French 9/10 in the top 14 showed, they need more depth there. 9 was appalling.
I see this as a tournament of home advantage so far, England will get the job done. I'll be raising a glass or two for BOD and he'll get a big cheer from me, could be the last time he'll run out at Twickenham.
Pahmymoney is on ireland tomorrow. Well done wales. I knew this would happen. Wales will win now.
Jambalaya you answer your first question in the same sentence and your appraisal of Adam Jones is just plain odd. Firstly did you see the Ireland game and secondly he was a major factor in a dominant scrum and did well in the loose. The ref playing scrum penalty roulette shouldnt sway you. Thirdly did you see how his replacement got on? Mind you having a very raw Scarlets second choice loosehead as tighthead cover for Wales is shit.
Great win for Wales, was trying to listen on the radio as I was driving home but the reception was horrible 😕 Will watch it today.
Now come on Ireland 😆
AH well I reckon Italy will edge it today in a low scoring game. I am hoping for an improvement from Scotland and I reckon they will improve but not by enough.
The suns out in Rome, will confuse the Scots!
They will burn in the first 20 minutes then the Italians will keep getting the ball by slapping the pink bits!
(coming from a bloke who burns when shown a photo of the sun.. ;))
Scots looking like they will be lucky to come second
True, Walsh has to come first in any match he is involved with, nutsack that he is
Good god, Scotland look worse than last week. How is it possible for professional players to be this bad. They just can't get over the gain line.
Try to Italy!!
Walsh for all his faults will favour the team going forward and trying to be positive. He's like the anti Rolland
The most important thing about that try was the astonishing sight of Walsh not taking the opportunity to see himself on the big screen by not going to the TMO!
Get in, good try that
hell of a second half by scotland
Yessssssss! Two tries in one game 😆
spoke too soon!!!
8 mins to go.
So frustrating. 10mins of hell to come
best match of this years six nations so far
Forza Azzuri!
keep em crossed duckie!!!
one for the critics on here!
Yeeees wooop
😀
Fair play that was great entertainment and nerves of steel gambling on the drop goal. I was going to do DIY but I'm glad I watched it. Really pleased for the Scots too, they really needed that.
When was the last time a scottish player scored two tries in a season let alone a game?
Shamelessly nicked from another place:
😆Celebrating that like they'd won the World Cup, the lottery and were banging Scarlett Johanssen
Couldn't have a beer as I was too tense,thank God we got over the finishing line in the end. I realize that will be a step below the next game,but I will take that second half performance.
Visser got 2 on his debut v NZ, think NZ got 6 or 7 that day
come on Mordor you can do it 😈
The BBC had an article about the Scottish rugby having lost it's soul.
Well I only saw the second half (the good bit i hear), but I think that soul is back and he's called Gray.
Looks like Worcester are for the drop 🙁 Sale had turned it around by this point last season, can't see where Wuss are going to get a win from now.
Who needs Il Divo when you've got those four fine Irish hunks. 😆
so Brian does that mean England will lose?
no try, whats the point of 12 trees, he's shit
Brown looks good. The green machine will need to keep the ball away from him.
Come somene tell me why there was no England penalty for high (like round the HEAD) tackle on May??
