@Catogrande said in Scotland v Wales 6N:
Odd you'd boast about your lack of success.
Success? That indicates a need to set a measure.

@Winger said in Scotland v Wales 6N:
27 years (1996) since they last won the first 2 match in the 6 nations...
If that is the case then they've never won the first two matches in the 6N as it was the 5N until 1999
I thought someone might pick this up

Italy joined in 2000. Never knew what the exact year was and didn't look it up.

How about the pre-match chat from Biggar.
What a bell-end.
"Medals are important when you look back at your career. We've been lucky enough to fill the cabinet a few times. It's up to other teams to try and replicate that. There are other teams around who get a fair bit of praise without really backing it up." “Scotland played well last week against England, but according to you guys, they are the best team around, aren’t they?” “We will have to see how they go on Saturday, see if they can back it up. The pressure is all on them." -

Big talk for a very average player

Well beaten, but I can see where we’re going
Biggar and North the handbrakes in the backline
Good ‘debut’ for our back row
As we get fitter through the tournament we’ll be more accurate
@MiketheSnow Who are the young players that can be selected to provide some spark?
It's a pity the likes of Rees-Zammit are injured.

Gatland will be scouring Super Rugby for players with a Welsh grandparent. His players were very poor this evening.

Including losing your shit in front of everyone at the likeable new guy because you dropped his pass

@sparky he's got a couple who are playing well in Wales in McNicholl & Collins that he's overlooked so far.
Time must be up for the likes of North & Fluffbert, offering next to nothing these days.@pooler-fan said in Scotland v Wales 6N:

Scotland were good. Wales were dire.
Hard to tell if Scotland could come second this year.

Really nervous about playing Scotland in Murrayfield. I think the French will narrowly beat them in Paris. But if the Scots manage to beat them, they can win the GS. I've always felt the away game to Scotland was the big one for Ireland.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, the Scotland skipper admitted he didn't know Biggar had made those comments, but went on: "Talk is cheap isn’t it? We haven’t won anything yet but we’ve won the first two games. They’ve won medals but that’s in the past.
"We put Wales under pressure. We knew if we stuck to our game we’d create opportunities and their discipline slipped. We knew they wanted to turn it into a messy affair which is what happened last year. We stayed out of that today."

@Bones That Ritchie is a hard bloke to hate.

There are some world class players on display in the 6N. A back three of Van der Merwe (Sco), Penaud (Fr) and the Italian 15 would be right up there. Russell had a fantastic game.
Imo Scotland can hope to reach RWC quarters and wales should be worried about not getting out of theirs.

That is a very bold call considering the groups. Can't see Scotland beating Ireland. Wales should be able to improve enough to beat Fiji though.
How weird top 5 teams in world all on same side of the draw!
Spot on with back 3 though... -

You heard it here first
But thanks for your concern

Sure, while we kept our powder dry for four years, your team has been hiding some far bigger water wings than anyone suspects.
