Last chance saloon for North
What has Tompkins done to Gatland?
How the fuck is Owen Williams not starting?
How the fuck is Owen Williams not on the bench?
How the fuck is Jarrod Evans watching Prince Harry sit on the bench?
Back row is either going to be inspired or retired
-
Ridiculous having Andrew Brace ref Wales again. He's from Cardiff ffs. He will be accused of bias or going out of his way to not look biased. He shouldn't be put in that situation.
-
@MiketheSnow Owen Williams must be carrying a knock surely? Very odd omission otherwise. 🤔

Fuck me. First it's player like Bundi O'Aki and Gibson O'Park and now it's the bloody ref's being poached by Ireland...

Am I the only one who thinks Princess Anne looks pretty fit for a 72 year-old?
-
@Victor-Meldrew Worried about you. You ok bro?
-
What a dick, ease up Biggar, it was a mistake.

Perfectly. She reminds me of some the uber-fit Cornish farmers wives in my neck of the woods.....
-
@Victor-Meldrew Lol This thread is better than the match...
-
Evenly matched game. Some great individual skills on display but yet to explode into action.
Sam Warburton is a great comments man.
-
Biggar blocking like it's the Super Bowl
-
I don't really see the point of having your props at first receiver like that if they don't have the skills for it.
-
Karma Biggar, I didn't see the winger yelling at you for missing that though.
-
Biggar really needs to concentrate rather than throwing a hissy fit
-
Scotland way more disciplined and playing the Ref better. Bit of a bore-fest so far compared to the Mick-Frog game
-
Not good by Adams there.
-
Great D by Dyer. Did you see that Mr Biggar?
-
No attempt to wrap, ignored because it wasn't high.

Superb eh, try for all money, other saffa winger won't like looking back at that.

Bridge would have been disappointed with that effort......

Take your point, but no head contact and I guess it kept the game moving

Trouble here.

Same guy that did that, comes running in to start a fight when someone hits one of his players high.
He needs a rest

Being a dickhead

The Yellow Card symbolises the problem with protecting the player. Ball carrier drops in the tackle and gets hit i the head, Ref agrees the tackler tried to to make a legitimate tackle but still gets carded.
Not good, but I'm buggered if I know the answer.

You can't come in that aggressive as the defender. You are rolling the dice.

Do better, take more care. Accidents are accidents, but they can still be avoided.
I don't think Dyer and Biggar are going to be good friends.
-
Bit of a dogfight this one, but Scotland have more about them.

@KiwiMurphYeah, understand that. Just venting my frustration around the perennial difficulty around this area
-
Cant see any difference in Wales game that Gats has introduced.
-
Cotter is so good eh
"Biggar...to Dyer...friends again..."
-
Hmmm... wasn't that passed back by Scotland?
-
Greedy by Turner.
-
Definition of white line fever.
-
That was a great pass by Russell. Magic

In fairness to Gatland they just look short of cattle.
Their previous generation is too old and there doesn't seem too much new talent coming through.
-
Seemed a bit too easy for another Scotland try
25-7 Scotland
-
This could get ugly for Wales.
