Wales vs Scotland thread 6n 24 Rte 2 16:45

Pudsy33

One of the most inexperienced squads in 6n history vs Gregor's perennial underachievers.

Could be decent game, going for a Scotland win by 10+

lawrencesummers

If scotland are as good as they think they should be able to weather anything wales bring for the first 20 mins and then win easily

Wales have nothing to bring

Dick phelan

Sad what's happened to Welsh Rugby.

Ben Bailey

Adams fortunate not to see Yellow for that.

Dubinusa

I think Gatland is doing the right thing with bringing in so many young players. They will be shyte for a while but, they could be good in a few years.

Would be sad if it wasn't self inflicted.

fitz

Wales are absolutely abject.

Dick phelan

Could be a healthy points difference for Scotland should comfortably get the BP

Clegg

Wales are losing the majority of contact in attack and defence. Just don't have the athletes up front.

Very surprised at the lack of organisation in defence. It's a half hearted rush.

Clegg

Russell needs a slap for that.

Not if they aren't very good to begin with. There's no McCarthy or Finn Smith in this team.

sligeach

There's nothing wrong with that challenge in my opinion.

Burkie1203

Not sure about that.

fitz

Eh, of course there's something he can do...he can not try to clean out the player if he can't avoid making head contact. Absolute nonsense...you'd swear he was forced into the contact.

accensi0n

Would have thought penalty at least considering there was head contact?

lawrencesummers

You reap what you sow.

or you cant reap anything if you have sown **** all

lawrencesummers

LRZ made 100% the right call.

Clegg

The Wales lineout has been tragic for years. There were issues near the end of Gatland's first stint that continues through the Pivac years. Now we're back to Gats and it's still awful.

lawrencesummers

The home crowd wont stand for much more of this before some drunk runs on the pitch giving out

ednwireland

dire

Ben Bailey

Wales appointed a captain who at 21 years old is 13 yrs younger than POM

Strong call

It feels a bit cruel to appoint a 21 year old as captain of a failing team within a broken system, could really knock his confidence.

Clegg

Jesus.

That Welsh defensive line is awful. Jogging up in a disjointed line to let Scotland run straight through.

sligeach

This match may have been over at half-time. After 3 minutes of the second half it looks even more so. 27-0.

Ben Bailey

Comeback is on !

sligeach

12-27. Oh ya!

Clegg

Once Wales started to keep hold of the ball Scotland became very ill disciplined. They're leaking so many penalties.

sligeach

19-27. Oh ya!

lawrencesummers

Thats more like the scotland we expected.

Wales will win this yet, or Scotland will lose it yet more like.

fitz

Would be so Scotland of Scotland to lose this game.

sligeach

And Wales have a man advantage for another 8 or so minutes.

Amazing graphic on the screen there showing the sequences of penalties throughout the game. Scotland have given away about 12 penalties in a row and Wales haven't been penalised for 40 or 50 mins. Now what does that remind me of. Just can't put my finger on it.

Larbre34

This is hilarious.

Absolutely every team, except Ireland, is shite. What a bad story for this tournament.

lawrencesummers

This is the problem with Finn Russell.

His team now need a cool head to make the right call and he's gone missing, not to be seen.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121717163#Comment_121717163

Strange post imo. Scotland can't get their hands on the ball at all there. When they did a second ago he puts a good kick into space and shortly after his teammates knock it on yet again. He's only one player.

Burkie1203

Townsends a terrible coach

This is it

Some match 😂

lawrencesummers

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121717170#Comment_121717170

And he should have found touch and stopped the game

Clegg

Scotland have been dismantled at the maul. Wales pushing straight through the centre of the Scottish defence.

sligeach

26-27. Oh ya!

ednwireland

what the heck is going on !!

I don't think he's terrible. I think he's bang average though. And thats almost worse.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121717181#Comment_121717181

No, he shouldn't. It was a perfectly good kick. Anyway I'm sure you'll find whatever reason, maybe he should have jumped in that lineout there, maybe he would have nicked it.

sligeach

Muck up and under kick from Russell.

Scotland were sauntering around earlier all smiles thinking the game was over. As usual, they got carried away with themselves. They've got a weird culture of thinking they're better than they are that leads to them switching off, imo. I think they need to move on from Townsend.

ersatz

This a big concern. Nucifora and Joe lined up in Oz, they will make something happen there. SA and NZ will be fine while Scotland/Wales are going backward at pace. France's league is in good health but rugby in Scotland, Wales and (to a lesser extent) England is in terrible shape. This is absolutely headless from Scotland, unforgivable if they lose this match.
