Bigger ALWAYS does that. Shame Our Nige won't ref Wales - he'd sort him out!! Missed the 1st half walking the dog, but 2nd looking good!

Scotland have deserved this. Better team today.

Wales were wasteful, making mistakes. Disappointing.

We'll done Scotland; withstood a physical onslaught and had a great start to the second half. Very, very good at the breakdown which is concerning as an Englishman when Wales tuned is over at will. Scotland were far better today at the breakdown.

Wow well played Scotland - brilliant 2H

True team effort - as always a pretty boy get MoM but to me was far more a great team effort not individuals.

What happened at the breakdown in 2H for Wales?

Wales started to chase the game and lose shape.

Let there be no more talk of "tokens", I have 3 Scotsmen in my lions xv. Barclay was immense, he takes the 6 shirt and a likely candidate for captain. Visser takes the wing shirt from Liam. Hogg at 15, no competition.

How the hell did Russell get motm?
Kicked dead numerous times, crabbed across the pitch and coughed up the ball with a brainless run after the pack had worked like dogs to keep it. Crap, and seriously unfair to the boys in the pack.

Hogg is great going forward, but really suffers in defence.

That said, a sack of spuds would have been better than North in defence today.

He's a pretty boy and the commentators ejaculate when the pretties get the ball.

Scottish forwards won that

I'm afraid A-WJ looked a little AWOL in 2H

Did North do anything today apart from holding up the ball carrier once?

Well done Scotland dominated Wales in the 2nd half. Wales need to go back and look at their decision making. The miss by Halfpenny and the decision to kick to the corner were real turning points.

Hogg and Farrell nailed on for me after that.
Dunnbarr looks a tidy 12 if Farrell's 10

And Watson's a proper 7

There have been whispers that there's a bit of a recreational culture around rugby in NZ for a while though.

I've heard rumours about it in the Welsh sides, as well, specifically about a player who was dropped this weekend. Which might explain things.

It's always been an issue - Matt Stevens for England/bath a few years back.

Fair play to Scotland Wales beat them up first half but Scotland took their chances well (unlike Wales) and deserved a win. North only got one pass all game that I saw and that was when Sammy Davies Junior came on.

Scrappy 2nd H but Ireland won't care. Personally, I'm hoping Wales turn up to do a job on Ire next week.

Wouldnt hold your breath.
Mind you a dodgy try with the wrong ball type win might give them a good gee up to go to town on the Orc horde the week after!!

Weird game. France looked up for it to start with then just lost shape. I thought we were in for a thriller!
Sexton looked amazingly good for his first game back. Furlong was impeccable, his decision making is on point. The young centre is lively, obv destined for great things. Stander and henshaw largely anonymous.

Henshaw anonymous, really?

I think he is a dark horse missing only an Irish commentator creaming himself when he gets the ball.

CF, this is the true Mike Brown ! Only a back, not qualified for true Orcdom.

Well having watched the game all I can say is - its about time!

This is a team that will only get better. they are young and fearless and fast and skilful. The rapier [i]and[/i] the bludgeon today and never let up the intensity and the speed.

Big shout for Hamish the coo. I have been telling everyone how good he is and today he showed it. No one tries harder and he has the speed of a back with the strength of a forward. Honourable mentions to Fagerson, Dunbar and of course the Grays remain immense.

I thought the injuries would hurt us more than they did. Thank goodness there were not to many scrums tho

All I can say is - told you so and I am sorry you will have to forgive me but it time for the happy dance again[img] [/img]
