A lot of the Welsh cleanouts, from Tipuric and Owens in particular seem to be coming in from the side of rucks.

Clegg

For all his undoubted skill, Jonathan Davies is a rather poor passer.

nice_guy80

He only spotted that was forward as it hit the deck

c.p.w.g.w

Is that the third penalty given away from awj?

Clegg

Didn't see who missed that touch but I'll guess it was Russell. Dreadful kicker for touch.

He has the shaking head, what did I do wrong routine down to a fine art

razorblunt

Ah jeez its THAT Russell for the last 5 mins.
Owens should have been penalised for not getting out fast enough.

ScrubsfanChris

Finn Russell trying to blame anyone else for that pass :pac:

Larbre34

Busted wrist for LW by the looks of it. Ireland won't be too upset.

Liam Williams has gone from very dislikeable to an eminently likeable player over the course of the last couple of seasons in my book

AdamD

Scottish skill levels are appalling

FrancieBrady

A decent team would have scored several times against that Welsh side. They are ok but not great.

I’m suprised how posters are shocked on here about the scots
They are the most frustrating rugby nation out there

Ahem! I, for one, am sick about complaining about them. More due to familiarity, admittedly.

Wheres Me Jumper?

Welsh calm & organised in defense. superb.

Clegg

What was the point of that Scottish set play? One of the smallest players on the pitch taking a crash ball as first receiver.

sydthebeat

Terrible decision, no way beard was first man into that ruck

Pity hes gone. Love watching him with ball in hand.

And consistently offside.
They're getting away with it, probably wouldn't look as impressive otherwise...

mangobob

what the actual fupp was that......

AdamD

George north is braindead

Clegg

That's a wonderful try. Looked like a forward pass in the build up though?

Edit: Nope the replay showed it was flat. Lovely flick from Russell.

razorblunt

Well deserved try, that. Deserved scorer too. Hopefully that lifts the crowd.

fitz

Lovely inside ball. Filthiest bit of play in the game so far. More of that please, Scotland!

Larbre34

I was waiting for the handling error that in fairness did not come.

Wales are a different side entirely without LW

molloyjh

Only 1 team showing up so far in this half. Wales haven’t been that great at all.

mangobob

Wow that was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Game on now.

molloyjh

Great work Scotland. COME ON!

mogwai81

Unreal pass under pressure from Russell!

fitz

Momentum shifting? Another score for Scotland and it's game on.

FrancieBrady

Welsh collapsing. Can Scotland keep this going?

joseywhales

Finn Russell is a sweet footballer

Clegg

Ali Price had an age to get that ball out of the maul. Terrible play.

Akrasia

This referee is calling every knock-on as backwards. Its mad

Squidgy Black

Brutal communication between Price and his pack there, blown opportunity.

Wheres Me Jumper?

that's more like the Scotland we've come to know & love.

In light of the last few minutes, that could come across as a compliment or sarcasm

sydthebeat

Couple of points....

I hate the way refs are allowing maul defenders to loiter and effect after they've slipped up the side.

Secondly Wales might look off side, but technically if they've no one in the ruck then their off side line is the head of the attacker over the ball.... This will inevitably be half way up a bunch of bodies on the ground... Thus it looks as though they are offside, when they are not....

sliabh 1956

This is an awful match to watch

razorblunt

Mess of officiating there, Tipuric's foot was on the line when he passed from the ruck, Russell was a mile offside forcing the pass too.

Clegg

Darcy Graham off injured. So that's their entire starting back 3 off. Also remember that Stuart Hogg missed today's game too.

steves2

Aaaaand here comes Laidlaw.. Just to slow things down.

Wheres Me Jumper?

Have to laugh at the tv3 lads:) Few minutes ago, everything Wales was brilliant and Scots were rubbish. Then vice versa, then back, then ...

Welcome back, Hamish Watson!

Is Hamish Watson made of concrete?

Laidlaw plating like he's scooping the last drop out of a youplait tub

Wheres Me Jumper?

some great tackles going in
