2018 NatWest 6 Nations - Round 1 Wales Vs Scotland

[Reiser99]

Do Scotland have an alternative to Russell, because at the moment he's making more mistakes than doing things right? Really needs to take a deep breath and calm down.

Need to Bring through Weir ASAP!!!

Harris has been poor. Wouldn't be surprised to see him subbed at the 1/2.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Welsh scrum is under real pressure

I feel Scotland have been poor in general. I thought they would be at the set piece, but their forwards are being shown up in open play.

 

[Bluemoon]

Strong defence from Wales really forcing the errors from Scotland.

The first 15 mins were crazy and Wales came out on top of that. Patchell will need to control the game second half. Scotland were playing from all the right places after that, but they are struggling to find their way through so far.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Wished Johnson was involved in Tigers still.

Maybe a as the head of rugby ops of some crap, where he is more a figure head than a coach Ala Dean richards style.

What the hell was Barkley playing at there?

 

[Bluemoon]

Crazy pen from Barclay. Just unnecessary

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

It's Barclay not Barkley.

You can tell you're a Bath fan

 

[Bluemoon]

Wales need to put this to bed up here. Even three points would put them 4 scores clear.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Scotland are back.

 

[ncurd]

Have to say so far I don't think England or Ireland are too worried.

Yeah I'm definitely rethinking my 3rd/4th prediction
Scotland are appalling and Wales not much better.
Wales are notoriously terrible in their first games though so they might get better

France might get involved in not being worst real team if both sides continue like this.

An upward curve for the Italian's could have them meet in the middle!

 

[TommiG88]

Wales have played clever rugby. Defended well, attacked ok and have been clinical.

Scotland on the other hand...

 

[Bluemoon]

Considering the injuries, this is a good performance against a form team. The best thing would to be to keep Scotland to nil, as really, their 'attack' is what everyone has been talking about.

 

[Reiser99]

Really don't like Martin Williams as a commentator. I find him very bias. Always over top in his praise of the Welsh players and just said Wales have been totally dominant today. Well they haven't at all. Definitely been on top, but there were points when Scotland could have easily got back into it if they were more accurate.

Having said that Wales have definitely taken their chances and played well overall. However I think we can't say how well they will do this year until they come up against a better defence.
