Contains some language ... but well worth the watch, passionate Welshman goes nuts.

I only said move S Lamont out with the proviso of Scott coming in, otherwise he is still the best option there.

Problem is that isn't saying much. It's all good breaking the line, but there is little point if he can't offload or spot a pass. End of the day he is a winger playing a crash ball roll at centre more effectively than our other centres can. This brings a problem the Welsh exploited, realising the ball won't get passed 12 or chipped over them, they could rush up and close down any attack without fear.

A ball player who can pass, kick and keep the ball in contact will always be better than someone who can only do the latter of the three.

Why do we not give D Weir a try at 12 then... like they use to do with Flood back in the day. It is worth a shot. But I think the bigger issue is that Andy needs wins or else he is worried about getting the sack, so his implementing new talent is moving much slower. If I were him, I would go balls to the wall and make some drastic changes to see where the future of Scotland lies.

I don't think Robinson is worried about the sack. If anything it would be him who quits.

I have to say it, but the yellow cards were, for me, a by product of Wales moving up through the gears.

Wales already had their tails up by the time the first card came, and it seemed like professional fouls were the only answer Scotland could come up with during that period. Bamboozled is the word.

 

[Seaton]

Or lack of composure and faith in their own and team-mates abilities.

If you don't believe me, look what happens when they are near the try line, or have strung a few decent passes together.

WALES INJURY UPDATE RBS 6 NATIONS ROUND THREE​

The Wales squad reported back for duty today for the first time after their RBS 6 Nations second round victory over Scotland on Sunday.
George North left the field during the 27-13 victory over the Scots with a sprained ankle and the Scarlets wing is currently undergoing intense rehab with a view to being back in training next week.
Huw Bennett (calf) and Ryan Jones (dead leg) also picked up their injuries at the Millennium Stadium on Sunday. Ospreys hooker Bennett is also undergoing intense treatment and hopes to be back in training next week, his Regional colleague and captain for the day on Sunday, Ryan Jones, is in the early stages of rehab on his thigh injury, but again still hopes to be in contention for Twickenham.
The Wales squad captain, Blues back row Sam Warburton, was ruled out after a last minute fitness test on Sunday after failing to recover from a thigh problem. Warburton will now take advantage of the extra time before the trip to England to further his recovery and is expected to be fully integrated back into training at the start of next week.
Two players who were ruled out of contention for selection for the Scotland game, Scarlets hooker Matthew Rees and Ospreys flanker Justin Tipuric, have both also handed Wales fitness boosts.
Tipuric is recovering well from his ankle problem and is expected back in full training on Monday and Rees is recovering well from his calf problem and, to date, remains in contention for selection against England.

Damn... with all of our front line players back there will be no excuses if we lose.
