    That all came from the attempted fly hack.

    Scottish pack is a bit thick. Why do they keep making daft lineout calls.

    Was the groin strain from that too?

    Who called that lineout. There a lottery throughout the first half and yet 10m from your own line you call that. Madness

    Wouldn't surprise me. Architects of their own downfall nine times out of ten.

    The line out call was horrendous. But the defence off the ruck for the score itself was criminal. You don't step away from the ruck and open a gap like that on your weak shoulder.

    I wonder if the dead rubber is being a factor, nothing really to play for except not being second last

    Possibly. Is there a financial benefit to coming 4th vs 5th? Given the current financial I'd have thought that would have given players something to play for?

    Half a million more for finishing 4th not 5th

    Brown's lineout throwing is awful. They are lofted floaters. It gives the opposition so much time to get into the air and given the conditions it means you can't hit your man with any kind of accuracy. Terrible.

    For the Welsh try Lewis-Hughes stood in the gap and didn't jump to challenge for the ball but instead to disrupt the Scottish jumper by jumping into him. Stone wall penalty to Scotland. Poor miss from the officials. Had it been spotted, which it should have been, Wales would have nothing on the board.

    At least it can't be as bad in the second half. Can it?

    Did Brown mention it to the TJ before the throw? Looked like he said something and was just waved on.

    Not sure but it would be incredibly poor of the AR if that was the case. He was clearly standing in the gap.

    If it's the one I'm thinking of (Jones was jumping at 2) then it looked like Brown said something. He was essentially throwing straight into the Welsh line.

    Halfpenny looked to be the tackler there. Hogg right to feel aggrieved.
