We were, but not because of the RC, we were already about to take the lead. We were lucky the right players got onto the field

Good win for Wales, well done.

They hung in there and took their chances very well, the young winger laddie looks like a serious talent.

Yep, well played and congratulations.

I think you'll take England, not so sure about France, but I wouldn't be surprised. You have too many canny operators.
So I squares up, casual like.

Unlucky Scotland. You look like a proper side. Redpath at 12 and you might have been out of sight today.

We missed Ritchie more. Blade was looking lively before he went off but he's no JR. Gary Graham was an offence to rugby when he came on. Ritchie was a huge miss.

I was just saying that the Scottish backline looks sharp and with a greater threat at 12 they'd have stretched us even more. Giving a compliment and lamenting the absence of a talented player.

Yeah I get you. I was massively disappointed he missed out.

Iโ€™m a bit annoyed with myself because I normally nail this kind of thing. But, I canโ€™t make my mind up if you are a single 30 something that canโ€™t get laid or a 50 something in a deeply unhappy relationship.

Would love to know! ๐Ÿ‘

Great game, to be fair we showed better in the second half but you guys learn how finish teams off then I can see you being a real contender for every 6N.

Isnโ€™t it just? Was the same last week - the control we had of the game was such that we should never have been in any danger of losing at the end.

Well done Wales - you took your chances and we didnโ€™t. The red card was incidental in the end,
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.

Really hard to identify why and I guess that's why Sco coaches haven't been able to fix it. At any one time it might be
- poor discipline (I'd suggest the most common fault)
- bad decision making
- poor handling
- lack of confidence
- lack of composure
- injuries
- plain bad luck

It's not poor discipline - last week Scotland conceded 6 penalties (IIRC) all game, and England could still have snatched it. Ditto poor handling - it used to be an issue, but there were hardly any handling errors over our last two games.

It's too consistent to be simply down to bad luck, though there has been some in the mix.

I think the issue has always been in the players' heads - a combination of lack of confidence and lack of composure. The former seems to be coming back gradually, but the latter is still an issue. We looked composed as anything v England though, bar one or two moments.

I think part of the current issue is that we've transitioned from all-out attack every game (which gave us some memorable wins but was easy for other teams to counter once they wised up) to a more controlled approach based on defensive solidity. The defence is much better (best record in the 6N last year I think) but it's been at the expense of attacking invention. I think the plan now is to reintroduce some of that, but that's where injuries come in. James Lang is a decent pro, but Cam Redpath he ain't.
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.
