Wales v Scotland, Saturday 2.45pm, BBC1

Just seen these first half stats on the BBC page

Siwan Lillicrap mentioned the half-time stats and here they are.

Possession: Scotland 66% - 34% Wales
Carries: Scotland 58 - 28 Wales
Metres made: Scotland 229 - 114 Wales
Post-contact metres: Scotland 100-21 Wales
Defenders beaten: Scotland 7-2 Wales
Clean breaks: Scotland 5-1 Wales

But the main statistic is on the scoreboard
 
That's good, flat pass

That overhead angle was good
Certainly wasn't clear and obvious.

And given that it has to be, do we really need 8 of the same replay?
If you can't tell after 2 shots that actually show what you're looking for, then it's not "clear and obvious"
Also felt like Tempest was being unhelpful - repeatedly asked his opinion as the big screen wasn't good, so he just showed the same angle yet again

The overhead sold it as good, all the other angles confused the issue. She did seem to be making a meal of it.
 
Sean Lynn came to the Wales coaching job following a very successful time with G-H for which a number of Wales players still play. Whilst the Scotland team seems to have progressed from their win over Wales in the 6N I really couldn't see any progress from Wales. If anything, they've maybe regressed.

I'm certainly not going to claim that Sean Lynn and the other Wales players playing for G-H were being carried by the rest of the G-H team. However it does seem that Sean needs a somewhat larger core of decent players with which to work in order to achieve progress. It will be interesting to see how they play against Canada.
