Not sure Scotland thought too much about their choice of shirt sponsor: and there's a spelling mistake there as well.

Not the greatest of games but boy what a battle!
Full credit to Wales, who'd clearly studied England's first two matches, worked out a game plan to neutralise them, then implemented it with discipline, determination and no little ferocity. Never was an underdog turnaround so ruthlessly executed or so richly deserved.
In truth, tho' it was lowering for a fan, probably a timely wake up call for England too. There's going to be plenty of well-drilled passion standing between them and the World Cup. They need to learn how to deal with teams - even 'lesser' teams - that fear nobody and never say die.
Bloody Welsh. It's always them who piss on our parade.

Have to be honest that, having been forced to play it when young, I have no interest in rugby. However, I'm glad Wales won, and sorry Scotland lost. Didn't see the games, but the highish scores means they must have been entertaining.
As an aside, French supporters admire the Welsh ones, if only for their funny costumes, and, of course, adore the Scots, even if they find the accent unintelligible.

Funnily enough I'd been thinking just five minutes earlier of posting along the lines it's just no fun watching Italy in the six nations. You know they're going to get a drubbing, and they do. And then that! Everything that's great about the game of rugby in one half. Game on!

Looks like Wales are on for the Grand Slam, Scotland are a great team but just not quite good enough.

I think Scotland are more a ' reasonably good team' than a great one.
Wales have a better record recently and should win, but being Welsh I am always full of doubts.

Wales still have to play Ireland, who were the favourites going into the tournament. The GS is far from certain.

Saw the Scotand - Wales game earlier: there were a lot of daffodils in the crowd.

That's no way to talk about the Scots!

I thought the Samoan / Fijian team played quite well tonight.
