Nice drop kick, shame they give away a penalty straight back.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Scots' back-row and Parks have all been immense today. The Scottish ten isn't Barry John and shouldn't try to play like him. Realised this today and his kicking from hand has pinned the Leekists back at every turn.

Crucial phase of play here. Welsh need to score, really.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Good old nilwit penalty there, diving over a guy who's turned the wrong way so you'll get the ball anyway.

Thought England had the monopoly on those.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Oh joy a yellow card penalty to give the Welsh a chance.

 

[Scaly piscine]

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Don't let these ****wits win ffs.

 

[Scaly piscine]

****ing jocks ****ing it up as ****ing usual to let these ****ing sheep shafting clueless ****heads get a result.

 

[Jarquis]

Wow.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Kept their composure my ****ing arse. They ****ing hoofed it down the field with 2 ****ing man advantage and got lucky with the bounce.

 

[BoyBrumby]

If anyone wants to know what a choke is, that is a choke. Sweaties just lost their head/nerve/bollocks with the finish line in sight.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Yea that's the turning point fluking a win against the 2nd worst team at home, now they might reach the giddy heights of 2 or even 3 wins out of 5 against northern hemisphere ****e.

Useless choking jockish wankers.

I actually hate the Welsh so much, it's unbelievable. 2 flukey tries at the hands of a bunch of morons and they only scored the second one because the ref didn't see that the time was 80:17 when they took the kick off....

 

[BoyBrumby]

Why the **** the Sweaties didn't just boot the ko straight out and take the draw is a question that needs answering too.

With 13 v 15 there was never going to be a happy ending with more play.

My view is that in order to punish Scotland effectively for the yellow card, he allowed one more passage of play, especially given the cynical nature of the the foul.

And yeah, kick it straight out, no time for the scrum, end of. Blame it on the fact that neither Parks, Godman or Paterson were there, so someone who wasn't used to kicking must've taken it.

Really didn't expect much from Ireland this week, France away is usually the most difficult game every two seasons and we don't look especially strong.

lol scotland

 

[BoyBrumby]

Well that was dire.

We're too rigid, against teams like (no disrespect intended) Italy we really must show more ambition. Kicked away so much possession and, as Jonny had a rare off day with the boot, we nearly paid for it.

 

[Uppercut]

Nah, job done for England I reckon. Italy have a habit of making opposing sides look worse than they are, while always making sure they give away a few more points than they score. Wouldn't scoff at a victory in Rome.

 

[Neil Pickup]

****ing jocks ****ing it up as ****ing usual to let these ****ing sheep shafting clueless ****heads get a result.

Regardless of how bad Scotland were, you do not post in this manner.

 

[Scaly piscine]

17-12, jesus.

Glad I missed that one.

Running 6/6 on tips so far, so see if I can end the good work tonight:

Wales to beat France by 6

Yer Welsh were spawny in the extreme when stealing the game from the gallant sweaties and France looked imperious against Ireland, but I still fancy the Taffs. Parra & Trinh-Duc are a v young half pairing and the latter will have Martyn Williams on his case all game tonight. Roberts versus Bastereaud a huge match up in the centres and think Jamie can hold his own. Expect lots of high balls to test the occasionally suspect Poitrenaud.

Scotland to beat Italy by 9

Italians have worried (and indeed beaten) yer Sweaties more than once, but their backs are very limited. It'll be dour, but Parks and the Scots back row should see them home.

England to beat Ireland by 12

Both teams have points to prove after week 2, but England at home with WIlko to kick his points should see us home.

what were the Welsh doing there!! ..a gift for France...
