Well then players should stop launching at heads. Scotland have absolutely nobody to blame apart from Zander Fagerson. And Gary Graham who was as bad as you'll ever see.

Yep. No one to blame but ourselves. Fagerson is a fuckin tool and Graham has been rank. Penalty machine.
So I squares up, casual like.

Yes, players doing things that are known to get them sent off tends to result in one team playing with fewer men. They could avoid this by taking more care not to commit a red card offence.

Aversion to cards seems to be an oddly Antipodean affliction, particularly acute in Kiwis.

That offload from Russell was magical. Wales scramble defence does just enough.

Scotland should have wrapped that up when they fucked up the try before the card even happened.

Well, fair play Wales. That was exceptionally Scottish on so many levels. Enjoyed that

Well done Welshies.

I think we beat ourselves but also some magic from Zamit.

Can only hope England rip Wales a new one they have two wins totally from two red cards. They are very average.

Average? I’d have settled for that a couple of weeks ago.

This is true but at the same time they have played 160 minutes of rugby without shouldering someone in the face and their opponents have not. Teams will adjust training and preparation at some point.

Finn Russell:
1) 3x Sco had pen adv in Wal 22 and 3x Russell immediately kicked the ball away
- twice he hit Welsh defenders
- once he kicked dead

Surely a visionary genius would welcome these of all chances (i.e. a free, no risk chance to attack) to try something?

2) 2 intercept passes (the usual quota in T14) one of which would have been a try were it not to Tompkins who did everything wrong this game and appears slower than Atonio.

3) A number of other aimless kicks that were too deep (as commented on by Sandy).

The man's a spoofer. Yes
- he made one linebreak early on
- and created a chance near the end
but that's still in the red overall.

Eh? How is the card a joke? The laws have been clear for long enough now. By my metric of "if you contribute to your own downfall, you deserve what you get", they did deserve to win. Were by far the better side against 14 (unlike last week) and Scotland only have one person to blame: thicko Fatgerson.

C'mon! Mockers again. Both sides are very limited but in Eng's case, it's in ambition and not ability. Eng will win by a score +.

Barclay talking nonsense as well. ‘They’re in line’ as it’s paused on the bloke being a yard ahead.
It’s a shame Scotland lost that but it was their own doing

In regards the Welsh, Sheedy looked far more threatening than Biggar (and coincidence that Saints are doing the same?) but is he normally such a dreadful kicker off the tee? I'd have been embarrassed if I had missed both of those. Same damned spot so he didn't learn anything.

Listen son, based on this performance you are correct in your assessment that the only think he could penetrate would need to be dead.

If he were hurting me, it's more than he's doing to any opposition. :thumbup:

No mockers, England have shown nothing that leads me to believe otherwise, a scrappy win against a pretty inept Italy is no cause for optimism

Have to say really enjoyed the Welsh/Scot's game. Thought it was a good test.

And anyone saying Wales on top of table because of 2 red cards, no they maybe on top because THEY have no red cards, they can't be reponsible for what opposition do!

Correct.

I may have complaints with the Scottish players but Wales kept their discipline and got the job down. Well done to them.
