Go and take your trolling pish back to PR.
Not trolling. For me it is hypocrisy to sing a heartfelt song about being a nation and then you have the chance to be a nation but you say ney we might lose a few quid so say ney.
The lyrics you’re probably referring to are often mis-heard/sung, they are “… we can still rise now and be THE nation again, that stood against him…”

Nothing about being A nation again because we are already.
Again not trolling but I have this passport Image

and you have this one.

Notice that mine mentions my nation Ireland, see nothing mentioning Scotland on yours??

Seriously you should be a nation again.

I 100% agree as do many of the other Scots here… and many don’t. However, this is a thread about our game today v Wales. We have a Scottish politics thread to discuss such matters. So, with respect, feck off!

After a couple of interruptions I finally got to the end of today's game.

Finn had a blinder, not so much from the tee, but he created so many scores for us.

Duhan has defenders skittering around all over the place, but having said that Adams in the first half made the best attempt I've seen at shutting him down, he did so by not attempting to tackle him, which is pure folly, but by making vdM move in and out of his line of run, in the long run it made no difference and the big laddie made a lot of metres and beat a lot of defenders, freeing up others.

Biggar should not have been bellowing at Dyer like he did, the guy made a mistake, it's not like Biggar hasn't done so.

Missed the match because of work but sounds like that's a good thing.

Well done Scotland, good luck for the rest of the 6N. Could the Scotland/Ireland game be a grand slam decider?

I'd love to think so, but there is the small matter of France in Paris first. Win that, and maybe we can dream (I still think Ireland are going to steamroller us though).
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

Do Wales have any great hope if young players coming through or anything positive to look forward to?

Theirs to lose.
Now that they've thrown the Welsh monkey/hoodoo off their backs, there's no one they can't beat.
To be fair, it's only Wales.
Who should replace them in the 6 Nations?
We are already in the URC and the Champions Cup.

What a magnificent performance from Scotland in the second half.

They must fancy their chances against France.

True, France are no push overs especially at home. I'll probably be working when it's on but I'll catch the replay I'm quite excited for the game. But I think Scotland can do it.

Wales have been a bogey team for Scotland in the same way Scotland were for us in 90's.

I foresee an unleashing similar to Ireland in 2000 when we finally got the Scotland monkey off our backs.

I had the same thought - felt like a cathartic, break out win akin to ours over Scotland in 2000. Similarly, it didn't come via a narrow win but rather a bit of a tonking.

Good Scottish side, this.

Well, we’ll see. We’ve got rid of the Twickenham monkey (both without and with fans present) and now we’ve got rid of the Gatland one. The next one is the Ireland one and I reckon that will be beyond us. But first it’s a trip to Paris.
