So... Scotland beat Ireland, who put nearly twice as many points on Italy as Wales did.
Guessing it's going to be a Wales win tomorrow, but this must be one of the best chances they've had north of the border for a while?
Balls. Should've had more faith in them for the fantasy league prediction.Guessing it's going to be a Wales win tomorrow, but this must be one of the best chances they've had north of the border for a while?
Two more tough games to call left for Wales against France and Ireland. Lot of competition this year.

the other Q is has Alun WJ messed up his chances of lions captaincy with some seriously duff calls (a la Chris Robshaw in RWC15)?
If it's the call I'm thinking of, AWJ pointed to the posts. Neil Jenkins was on the pitch. Biggar took the ball and went for the corner. At least, that's the one I was bhing about.I'd still have AWJ as Captain. Only other Welsh contenders for a shirt at this point in my view are Rhys Webb and Sam at 7.
For me the back row combination isn't working and I would revert to Lydiate at 6 and Sam back to 7.

Not Scotland-England too? Two more tough games to call left for Wales against France and Ireland. Lot of competition this year.
But if it were at Murrayfield I might be a bit less certain. Good year for Scotland.

That's not captaincy.

I agree that is a clusterfk. Quite what Biggar was thinking I don't know but hopefully he's put in his place. Kermit power said:
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!
I think England are missing Billy V more than they realise. You can underestimate just how much space he buys youGiven that Wales were poor against Italy too, it's a little worrying!
