Scotland vs Wales

Fratton Fred

What a try.

There's a kind if "freshness" about Scotland that's quite pleasant to watch.

If they see this out, this is a really good result for Ireland.

Welsh essentially out of the running for our visit to Cardiff and Scotland going to London with a spring in their step and an outside chance.

Scotland have really improved. They used to have a massive problem scoring tries. I'm happy for their fans.

There's only one thing for them to do.

Ditch their coach.

Gatland sitting there wondering how will he justify taking 15 Welshmen on tour now

I'm confused by the commentator saying he was offended that someone said Scotland are a mid table team.....surely that's a compliment if anything as they normally finish last or second last

Hogg nailing down the Lions 15 jersey I think. Lovely player to watch

Hmmm. There were a number of posters on this forum giving out about Ireland losing to a "rubbish" Scotland. I would call that arrogance.

Sure Scotland are somewhat limited but they make the most of what they have. Barring me putting on the hex they will be 2 from 3.

Buer

Bit harsh there. Straight into his own man, nearly always given as a scrum to the defending team rather than a penalty unless the guy stepped in front of a tackler.

Scottish commentator showing just how big the chip on his shoulder is. It's almost as if Scotland haven't been awful for over a decade.

Who is the co-commentator on rte ? Has a real chip on his shoulder about teams writing off Scotland

Can Scotland beat England and win the triple crown ???

Diabhal Beag

Delighted for Scotland here. Great fans, a lovely attacking team through the likes of Hogg and Seymour and they're always good to conceded a few tries. Hope they beat England too.

I wouldn't call it arrogance at all. They are better this year. They've been "better" every year for five years no. This is the first time it's actually been true.

I suspected at the time it was more a case of Scotland being good than Ireland being bad on opening weekend... Confirmed now I think.

How well would Moriarty have to play to stay on the field?

Defensively, he's seven kinds of sh1te though.

Morris Moss

Serious performance from the Scots considering the players they're missing.

Yes, that match is in Twickenham though

vienne86

So is Laidlaw badly missed? I don't think so. Russell seems better without him.

Never heard as much shìte in my life. People write off Scotland. People look down on Scotland. People wouldn't rate Scotland. People wouldn't pick any Scots for the Lions. Give it a fcuking rest.

Still the best attacking player in the northern hemisphere.

Ecstasy lighting up Cotter's face.

Just waiting for Webb to kick off in frustration in the last few minutes.

I think it was somewhere in between.
The win against us definitely gave them a bit of confidence and momentum.
This win will help too.

I think they've been building on provincial performance, building a squad and a way of playing that makes the most of their resources.
Cotter has done a really good job imo.

"Wales have a chance!" says the BBC as they pack down for a scrum with 90 seconds left and 16 points behind.

Kiwi_knock

The Scottish co-commentator is reaching Fr. Ted 'Golden Cleric' levels.

Clegg

And Cotter has effectively been sacked just as everything he worked on over the last few years has all come together.

Townsend is a great coach but the Scottish Union has still gotten rid of the best coach they've had in 15 years.

He's like that on BBC 5live as well, always moaning.

Chris Paterson is the token home man. Eddie Butler is the main commentator on the Beeb.

Last time Scotland beat Wales in the 6N was 2007. Christ.

Dont know if that is good or bad for Ireland,.....Wales will be gunning for us now

Yeah, that was strange. Even a LBP was out of reach.

From a world cup rankings point of view, that was good for Ireland.

Fierce enjoyable game.

Scotland's two tries were brilliantly constructed and finished but it's their breakdown work that's simply incredible.

England and Italy to come for the Scots.

Not the best result for Ireland given that we have to go to Cardiff next on a Friday night.

Good for us. They'd be gunning for us at home anyway, but now they can't win the tournament.

Scotland still can with a win over England and will hopfully really put it upto them and I think we've a day more recover before England visit us.

Been sacked - Is he leaving Scotland? I hadn't heard that. Where is he going to?

He's going to Montpellier on ludicrous money.
