The Rugby Thread

Scotland just individually rush the first receiver (and rush very late) so that when the next pass goes away there are massive holes to run through.

Good to see both teams try to play though.

Scotland have been awful at the crucial moments so far. No composure at all.

Think they'll be tiring as well as Wales are keeping the ball in play. Can see Wales winning this by quite a few the way it's going.

Disappointing?

More of the same please.

Wales have defended excellently so far. Hope to see a bit more of them in attack in the second half, but they don't really need to do much because Scotland are almost beating themselves.

One more score and I think this one is over.

Why does Russell keep taking his kicks so quickly? Seems to give Scotland no benefit at all.

How in Hod's name was that not a high tackle? He grabbed him by the neck and threw his head into touch!

2 tries for Halfpenny. Somewhere in London TSH head has just exploded.

Scotland should be ejected from the tournament for that alone. He hadn't scored for 5 years before that FFS!

I hope Wales embarrass them now. Scotland have been a disgrace!

Tips on for the bonus point.

So much for the upturn in Scottish rugby...

Scored plenty for Toulon.

Not the same as international level as you well know.

He's been superb today though. And he's in my fantasy rugby team so all is well.

Not sure you can call this Scotland team international level though. Italy will be licking their lips.

Seems since Vern Cotter left Scotland has reverted to type.

They were decent in the Autumn. Much better than Wales in fact.

Just been a shambles today though.

 

[talkshowhost86]

Great try. Just give it ref.

The Scarlets on steroids.

Vs a half pissed Glasgow.

Scotland haven’t been great but it’s the old debate of whether they’ve been poor v we’ve not let them play.

Bit of both I’d say.

The comeback begins. Gonna be a hell of a last minute!
