[2020 Six Nations] Scotland v Wales

[retired9]

Still on atm, Scotland team to be announced today.

Big game for both teams, odds have to be on a Welsh win though (sadly)!

 

[ForumWhore]

If Scotland win, Wales will have played the most games and lost the most games in the tournament. That'll bloody tickle me that will. Is there a trophy for this?

Halfpenny; North, Tompkins, Parkes, L Williams; Biggar, Webb; W Jones, Owens, John, Hill, AW Jones (capt), J Navidi, Moriarty, J Tipuric.

Replacements: R Elias, R Carre, Brown, Rowlands, Faletau, G Davies, J Evans, J McNicholl.

wales squad announced. I think WRU needs a massive fine for playing George North after being knocked unconscious two games in a row. I don't care if he's passed protocols. It's ridiculous.

Scotland

Hogg (capt); Maitland, Harris, Johnson, Kinghorn; Hastings, Price; Sutherland, McInally, Fagerson, Skinner, Gilchrist, Ritchie, Watson, Bradbury.

In 20 years time when he or his estate bankrupt the WRU nobody will be surprised.

Glad that Will Griff John is getting a chance but I thought Wales could have experimented a bit more in the backs. Hopefully Evans get's a decent amount of game time from the bench.

Much as I'd like to see this it would be totally reckless for this match to go ahead.

Really surprised Wales have just stuck to mostly the same players that have lost the last three. There's no ***le to play for, just experiment. If not now, when?

Maybe bedding in new style is the bigger priority?

Scottish government is advising that gatherings of more than 500 should be cancelled from next week. 67,000 in Murrayfield on Saturday would be nuts.

Not quite sure of your last point since the game is in Cardiff

Honestly, all the fuss on here and across the media pre-tournament about LRZ being nicked by England, and Wales don't even think he's worth a single game, not even against Italy, not even against Scotland now that the tournament is well and truly gone. If they're not careful, LRZ might decide he's better off playing for England instead.

And how on earth is Halfpenny still at fullback? Pivac wants to play a fast attacking game, yet Wales are the only team in the tournament with a slow plodder at fullback. The other five have Daly, Larmour, Bouthier, Minozzi and Hogg. How can they bed in a new style if they stick with the old style Gatland players that don't fit it?

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

WillGriff John has said he's 'looking to smack some boys about' in this one. Thank goodness he didn't say he was going to be 'brutal', that would of been completely out of line! Still, at least he hasn't yet called Scotland '****ly'. The shame!

In fairness to Pivac, Liam Williams was unavailable at the start of the tournament. If Adams was fit, perhaps he'd be on the wing with Williams at 15.

Having the best fullback in the world and playing him out of position ... it's like having Eddie Jones in charge

Honestly you have to wonder if they were just hoping the government would do it for them just like everything else that is being cancelled today.

 

[Johnny Storm]

Postponed or cancelled?

Media are saying cancelled.

I read postponed - the other games are supposed to be being played in October aren't they?
