G Davies, S Davies, RobertsSchmidt taking the same route. Only enforced change is Bowe for Trimble. Otherwise, it's McGrath, Best, Furlong, Toner, Ryan, Stander, O'Brien, Heaslip,
Murray, Sexton, Henshaw, Ringrose, Bowe, Zebo, Kearney.No real pizzazz/snarls going into this one from either side. England and Scotland seem to be soaking up all the media attention which is not a bad thing for this match.

G Davies, S Davies, Roberts@MiketheSnow I was almost expecting a change after Edwards semi throwing of North under the bus earlier on in the week. I thought his comments in the media were a bit rough really.

North needs a rest and/or a different coaching regime.

He definately needs a different tackling regime, classic example of a guy who was huge as a kid so tackled with his head in any position he wanted & now as an adult cops 16 stone guys thighs in the head every time he makes a tackle. And as a result now tackles with the enthusiasm of a DJ mixing Max Keys latest album

Whilst I agree he could do with a rest, I really felt that Edwards' comments were out of order.

Farrell looking a bit suss

Surprising that they would bring May into the match day squad, I would have thought that Slade was the ready made replacement - plus they might need his place kicking if Ford has another mare with the boot.

He's scared of the Scots midfielders and who can blame him

This is a pretty enjoyable game! Wales up on Ireland, 8-6. Battering Murray and Sexton, just not that good at finishing. Ireland's only option seems to be to kick, even throwing out the defensive bomb with great gusto.
Barnes is yet to make his howler and also hasn't as yet pulled out his ambiguous law call.

Fuck me this match is tense.
Wales definitely on top overall but the breakouts from sides is keeping the nerves on edge.
Barnes has had his yellow with Sexton and Wales took some advantage. Murray off but Marmion doing ok.
-
Wayne Barnes making more friends in Ireland.
-
Bang on with the call though. Pen every day of the week
-
He's a pedantic fart. For both sides.
-
Cos they didn't play like this before?
Shocking loss of composure by Ireland and Sexton gets trampled by Roberts.
Fuuuuuuuuck!
