Re: Scotland V Wales Official Match Thread

Shame no bp against Ireland. If we get 2 against England and Italy don’t get any we could avoid coming last without winning a game!

Re: Scotland V Wales Official Match Thread

The scottish back line is very tasty. I think that it will be a high scoring match which Scotland will win by 2 scores, so I am just going to try to enjoy it.

Knock on for first Irish try

Gibson-Park knocked on at the base of the ruck.I thought so in the ground and I confirmed it today when I watched the replay. I’m only mentioning it because no one said anything on the match thread. Wouldn’t have made any difference as Ireland were on a penalty advantage, and anyway they won by 9. I...

Bill McLaren used to like to say, ‘French ball, Roumat has it’ Adele knicked Bill's line :shock: Took me a second, but that's a great comment He never said, but should have - Blakeway scores a breakaway try. Laidlaw has been laid low by a high tackle. Tukalow took a low pass off his bootlaces.
