Who are the ringers???

Based on Scotland's performance against France last weekend, the only ringers will be those in the dark blue jersey masquerading as rugby players.

whilst i wouldnt mind seeing a Scotland win (ancestors were Scottish and i have been told by my grandparents that i have family over there) i think that Wales should win this pretty comfortably. I only saw the highlights on foxsports, there were alot for the Scots

[GIGS20]

I bet 22 S Parker is pissed, what is he the ospreys waterboy?

[Flat-top]

Very canny selection policy from Gatland once again as he tries to keep the club combinations going into a test match however it is wise to remember that until he started changing the side and taking off the Ospreys last week England were thumping them. All that said if they play as they did against France I think Scotland will be pushed to keep the try count down regardless which Welsh 15 are on the pitch.

Scotlands line up for the match agisnt Wales on Saturday night (Perth Time), hamstring injury to Simon Webster has seen him ruled out, Chris Patterson moves to the wing and Hugo Southwell promoted to the starting side.

Gday all you TWFers who are up late tonite. Badger and myself are at Rosie O'Grady's watching the game. Half time score Wales lead Scotland 10-6, unsure of the try scorer just yet due to technical/management stuff up that saw us miss the first quarter of the game

[jargan83]

Update: S Williams scored the try on the 13 minute mark

Nathan Hines was sin binned at about the 16 minute mark, no points during the sin binning

[jargan83]

Evening my fellow TWFers, Wales have defeated Scotland 30-15. More details to follow, pRobably when your intrepid reporters Badger and i sober up

[JediKnight]

A deserved victory by Wales. An improvement on last week by Scotland (it couldn't get much worse). 2 dodgy decisions (1 by the ref & 1 by the TMO) cost Scotland 10 points but ultimately wouldn't have changed the result.

[jargan83]

I agree Jedi, Wales deserved their win. Scotland didnt threaten often with the ball and it was the boot Chris Patterson who kept the Scots within range of a possible upset victory. But the Welsh did end up running away with the contest. I could have sworn that Shane Williams had been put into touch (well at least one of his feet) but the TMO saw different (even though i think he got it wrong). The Scottish defence at times in the first half was brilliant and i thought at 20-15 Scotland were an ouside chance
