There was a clear forward pass from Scotland that was either missed or ignored. Same with some Welsh borderline.
I thought the pass that set up Wales first try was clearly forward but neither commentator picked up on it so I assume I was wrong.

Well done to Kermit - only one to pick a Scotland win. (From the PH fantasy predictions)

Hopefully this will convince the WRU that whatever the question is, Howley is not the answer.

It just hasn't been going Wales' way in the second half.

Murrayfield seems to be a fortress this year!

Like Hornet said, you take your chances at goal & build a lead. Complacency at its worst.

Can't see us winning another this year. Hopefully that sees Howley out

Scotland won that match. Wales just didn't have the answer to them. I've just phoned a Welsh mate - to commiserate of course without any mickey taking - but his phone was off.

Scotland top of the table? I wonder what the odds were against that.

Well played the Scots.

Given T'penny just shanked one, and it was out wide, I think the mass lineout was a fair shout. Just poorly executed.

After watching that, and thinking back to a couple of weeks ago, did Wales really REALLY up their game against England, or was it a close game between two not particularly on form sides?

Given that Wales were poor against Italy too, it's a little worrying!

Not sure you can quote table positions part way through the weekend - they've played 3. After the Ireland game and the England game tomorrow then it's a fair call.

I agree, well played to the Scots though - very impressive this year. Vern Cotter has done a great job just in time for Gregor Townsend to take the glory of the resurgent Scots.

So, after tomorrow, Scotland will be likely second or third in the table - wonder what the odds were on that wink

What's everyone's thoughts on the Ireland vs France game?

I've picked Ireland for the win but, as always, depends which French team turns up

Ive thought for the last few years that Scotland just needed that last bit of luck, skill or whatever to have a decent run of results. Well done and hope it lasts.

Ireland by 10 points in a fairly high scoring match.

I wonder if there will be as much arguing with the ref in this match.

Actually I don't. I think I have a good idea.

These Irish fumbles and errors are going to cost them the game

Well France have most certainly turned up. Ireland thankfully seem to have too after 20 mins or so. A war of attrition, how these guys get up the day after a game amazes me.
