Rugby! ......very NB

Who's watching it??
Amazing stuff, 3 tries in 13 minutes, and that second was incredible....Scotland should have had a try, and it turned into a Welsh.

Wales ireland tickets are changing hands for £600 .Yesterday there were still 5000 Scotland tickets unsold.

Scots are missing lots of tackles with wales making the most of the opportunities.

The way Wales are playing today, they have to be taken seriously for the grand slam now. That Wales-Ireland match is going to be blistering!

Some of the play by Wales today has been just blistering. I do feel sorry for Scotland - to be that far down at half time must be demoralising, and through 5 tries, not goal kicking. The play by Scotland in the last 5 minutes of the first half was great though, so they still have some fight in them, but they are being totally out played I'm afraid.

Good to see Scotland come back and make a match of it in the second half. They played some excellent rugby

Re: Rugby! ......very NB

Even as a Welsh supporter, thought Scotlands disallowed try was a good one.
2nd half nailbiting in spite of the points difference.

Re: Rugby! ......very NB

They were obviously given a real pep talk at half time. They really had nothing to loose with the points difference Wales had gained, so came on with some good attacking rugby. It made all the difference. It would have been a very disappointing game if Wales had walked all over them in the second half as well, and they needed to build their confidence back up for their match next week.

Tough call on the disallowed try.

definitely a game of two halves.

A different Scots team came out in second half.They were in an impossible position but gave their supporters something to remember.

Re: definitely a game of two halves.

Be good to see Wales get the grand slam, will lift their morale no end.

Well. All I can say is that I WAS THERE(!), and all the tries were scored at our end of the pitch; apart from Wales try in the second half. The Scottish captain (Gordon Bulloch) said that the second half performance (victory over Wales by 19-8!) was encouraging. I bet the lillywhites are quaking in their boots!

The first half was a disaster for Scotland but you have to give them credit for having the gonads to make a fight of it in the second half. Shows there are some foundations there lurking under the bedcovers. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
BTW anyone phoning me during the Wales-Ireland match won't get an answer - SO THERE! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Very intelligent substitution of fly and stand-off halves made a huge difference. Cussiter's selection can't be a given after today and his Lions chances have taken a bit of a knock. Not been a great fan of Gordon Ross for the Tykes or Scotland but he did a good job today. Well done Scotland for a gutsy 2nd half performance.

Wales deserve the accolades and will take some beating next week but good luck to both. A great 6 Nations finale.

 

[BrendanS]

Very gutsy decisons and work by two Wales coaches to go for attacking game and complete overhaul a few years back. It's paid off, they are playing magnificent running ball, that is a joy to watch. They deserve everything they've earnt so far, and I really do hope they win next Sat, as they've earnt it, even though they eased off in second half today, when they should have kept pressure on

 

[pessimist]

As an England supporter all I can say is well done Wales. Some of their rugby was a joy to watch. They have improved with every match of this championship. If they should get a slam I think it will be well deserved.
