The Scottish forwards' heads are still back at Murrayfield.
Had a feeling this was the way it was going to go.

Me too. However, let's see what the 2nd half brings.

Squeaky bum time there!
Arse, the clown show try killed us. Bench not good enough.
Still was a good game for a change.
Finn to Darcy....that's why he gets the big bucks .. 😁😁
I think that was a moral victory for Wales. Some errors (Darcy Graham try), but to keep Scotland out for 72 minutes...chapeau!
Well played Scotland for keeping in it
That was a tough win which is good for us
Hmmmmf!
Wales looked tired at 60 minutes, Scotland finally woke up.
The one thing I absolutely hate is the over celebration. Not gentlemanly at all, it needs cutting out.
Olivon celebrates a try like he's pissed off he scored.
Great game as usual for the neutral - shame Wales didn't get more from the game. But the usual bonkers back and forth for the neutral - might have needed a lie down in a dark room if I was a Wales fan - but there are signs of old Wales. As for England - please replace George Ford with a decent number 10.
When did itoje turn into Kathryn Tate? "But he hit his head tho, nah but his head, hit his head, but you agree he hit his head, head tho, hit his head, ad nauseum.
Wales probably deserved the win. I think they were the better team for the majority of the game.
Well done to Scotland for grinding out a result though. Easy Bonus point win indeed.
Jings...Give the French an inch....... 😳😳
French team so dangerous!! Italy battled hard though, fair play
- Italy played well and got gubbed. Looks tough for Scotland in the next two games
I'd agree, it'll be tough for Scotland next 2 games.
French look to have little in way of weaknesses and will have the power to stop us getting front foot ball to play with.
Before that England game I had more hope for the Irish game, they look to have suddenly gelled into a team of old and we always struggle against them.
The Welsh will have targeted the games against Scotland and Italy and were definitely several steps up from their previous games too whilst we reverted backwards after playing so well against England.
Well I would have certainly taken that score beforehand but still a bit gutting....just need more off the bench and we don't have it
Cracking game that. Incredible defence from Wales in parts. I wish Baloucune was a few years younger.
Rhys Carre has just booked himself a few after dinner speaking gigs on the back of that try, magnificent.
Wales have come a long way since week 1.
Brutal game that. The Wales lads have got some fitness
Just happy we got through that, wasn't sure until the 80th minute.
Alex Mann 32 tackles, most in a six nations game ever. He might be underpowered and look like he has just been drafted in out of a pub in the valleys but he has some engine. Botham put in a huge shift too
Nice to see Wales showing some signs of recovery. They could have easily nicked one of the last two games.
England must be world beaters too after they destroyed this spirited Welsh team in round 1……..
As a former prop, that brought a warm glow of pride seeing that young lad sell the dummy pass, effortlessly hand off the tackler and canter away to the line. Good to see Wales making progress -it was looking pretty grim for a while.
Lotta love for that try. They were ready for him when sieging the Irish line, but not expecting him on the wing! That show and go was class
LRZ has been quiet (most of the back line tbh) but at least this picture caption didn't go to waste

Scotland playing stunning rugby.

Well this has been fun!!
Next weekend will be interesting.
Sat here at home on guardian.com hitting the refresh button. Six nations is that one time in the year when I wish I had a telly.
So let me get this straight.....ABE is on holiday next weekend? What a position to be in.
Bloody hell Scotland l I dared to hope but didn't that result coming. Haven't seen the whole match yet as I was at work but couldn't see any way Scotland would score 50 against France

Been away from phone all afternoon so only just checked the scores and WTAF Scotland!
Nothing predictable about these 6 nations
Scotland were great. I also thought Wales did well against a good Irish performance last night. Still not sure England have discovered the levels of intensity that have been produced by Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Italy and France - but at least they've replaced GF at 10. May be kicking the ball up in the air doesn't work against a good team.............as Scotland did hold onto the ball.
Woohoo. Great game by Italy
Forza!
Wow. Incredible games this weekend.
Massive respect to Scotland and Italy.
Wow! What a weekend of rugby?
Wales managed to make a proper game of it. Champagne Whisky & Haggis rugby in Murrayfield. Roman grit and a never give up attitude give Italy a very well deserved victory.
Borthwick to the dole queue ? (after the last game against France)
