Scoring 4 tries was lucky.

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

Well played lads.

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.

Well done.

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.

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

With Davies Navidi North and fucking so on we would've scored more.

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.

He’s just a little softcock who turns up when they win

As you would expect, the rest of the Welsh lads are great

I’m a bit annoyed with myself because I normally nail this kind of thing. But, I can’t make my mind up if you are a single 30 something that can’t get laid or a 50 something in a deeply unhappy relationship.

Would love to know!

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.

Isn’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 didn’t. The red card was incidental in the end,

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

His hatred of all things Scottish would suggest he is the bastard child of some ginger borders lad who had the misfortune of shagging his 10 pinter, valley commando mother.

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.
