If you add in Scotland's ability to lose possession just when they're making progress to that then it's about right.

[CharlesdeGaulle]

Scotland really need to pick things up if it's not to run away from them. They're playing really well but for really short periods! Wales looking solid.

I think Scotland are looking terrible today... I'm not not enjoying it but it's all got a bit scrappy after the first 10-15mins.

Hardly heard a commentator mention Stuart Hogg and he's supposedly the best player on the pitch.

Expect to see Wales sit back and defend with a 14pt lead in the 2nd half. Pleased to see Halfpenny get a try

Ref seems a little on the whistle-happy side but them is the rules and I don't think he's got it wrong, yet.

Having encouraged drinking... I'm yet to touch a drop! Will remedy that now!

Scotland to turn this round I reckon.

Oh really.....

FFS!

Two minutes to kick off and we get a power cut.

Comes back on and it's half time and we're 14 down!

It’s 20-0 now 😜

So pleased for Halfpenny!

So much for Scotlands Autumn form then

[PhilboSE]

Scotland reverting to 6N form. So disappointing after flattering against Aus and NZ in the autumn.
Devoid of ideas and poor handling.

Average of one point every 3 minutes - not a bad effort!

[Bonefish Blues]

I thought that Scotland couldn't be as loose as in the first half. I was wrong. A shadow of the side that was beating the best in the world last season.

I said it after the Samoa game in the autumn, everything Scotland had built and improved on under Vern has been decimated by Townsend.

Townsend seems to have a ‘no matter how many you score we will score more’ attitude and was the same when he was at Glasgow. It just doesn’t work at international level IMO.

Not all down to tactics, the guys out there just can’t seem to get to grips on the ball the amount of handling errors and unforced errors is embarrassing.

Well done Wales, with Gatland in charge you are a different beast.

[irocfan]

serves me right for trusting the Scots would do well for my dream team pick
