Can't wait for the Finn Russell memes this week.

Bones

Mann v Pillock might be fun

sparky

Wales well worth their lead.

Victor Meldrew

Watching with a 20 min delay, but the Taff loosies are playing bloody well.

Bones

Carley is a dick. "You're pinning him" shouldn't matter if the Scottish tackler has come in from the side and deliberately placed himself in the way of the ball.

Alex Mann having the game of his life at 7 for Wales.

sparky

Wales kick a penalty.

Wales 20 Scotland 5

50 minutes.

Bones

Starting to wonder how many of the Scottish players have Wales for a BP win

sparky

Scotland score through Finn Russell after 27 phases.

20-12 after 56 minutes.

sparky

Interesting game now. Wales have an eight point lead but Scotland now looking more creative and fitter.

sparky

Wales got a penalty, but slept on the kick off. Darcy Graham in.

The Irishman

Was fun while it lasted. Scotland will win this now.

sparky

23-19. 59 minutes.

Scotland with the big mo.

Race to the bottom for who can give away the dumbest penalty.

sparky

A few of the Welsh players looking utterly puffed.

Bones

Heck of a tackle on horndog

sparky

Fuck me, that was dumb by Tomos Williams. Penalty reversed.

That could well cost his team and his nation the game.

sparky

Into the last ten minutes and LRZ's turn to give away a dumb penalty.

He's not got the pace any more to take on Tuipolutu like that.

sparky

And Scotland screw up the lineout maul. A get out of jail card for Wales.

sparky

Turner scores for Scotland after a lineout maul to take the lead. Warning signs have been there for Wales for a while.

sparky

Scotland lead by three with four and a half minutes to go. 23-26.

sparky

Wales with attacking scrum after Acotland spill the kick off.

sparky

Scotland won a scrum penalty after the Welsh stand up.

Bones

This could be the toughest loss for Wales.

It was there, they fucked up massively.

sparky

Into the last minute. Scotland with the win.

So near, but so far for Wales. A brave effort but not enough.

sparky

All over.

Tomas Williams' brain fart cost Wales that game and what could have been a famous victory.

Sadly, yes. But much for Wales to feel good about.

Great match to watch.

sparky

Scotland and Ireland both still on for the Triple Crown.

MN5

Scotland actually coming back to win a match is definite progress.

Bad luck @mikethesnow, big game for your boys coming up against Italy.

Can’t see the Scots troubling France or Ireland so a bottom to mid table finish beckons as usual ! Curse that Italy game.

sparky

A much better performance by Wales, even if they couldn't quite get over the winning line.

Dan54

Well I got quite hopeful for a while, but Welsh boys certainly would of got a few of their supporters feeling that perhaps there is reason to hope again?

Wish Wales had been a bit braver as opposed to taking the 3 points on offer
Incremental sets of 3 was never gonna take Wales out of reach from a potential Scotland comeback
On the upside that’s a massive improvement on where Wales have been in the first 2 rounds

MiketheSnow

Thanks boys

Just watched the highlights in baggage claim in Luton Airport

EasyJet flight 3hrs late so I’m stuck here until 6am tomorrow

Far better performance across the board from us

Costelow had a very good match and was worthy of inclusion

If we weren’t on such a shit streak we would have gotten that one over the line

But fair play to Scotland, they stuck to it

A bit of luck and some good play saw them scrape home

Hawkins should have seen red
Terrible reffing

Williams was a legitimate clean out from the highlights I saw
No degree of danger
Terrible reffing

antipodean

Welsh supporters must be furious watching 10 secs of inattention lose them a deserved victory.

Yep

But winning try should have been disallowed as 8 joined maul in front of 16 who had ball and drove a channel for 16 to score

But when you are down the calls go against you

That was the turning point of the game. More-so than the penalty reversal for Williams.

Stuck in the worst place on Earth, 🤯
