There was an article in the Fail earlier in the week suggesting the Scot’s requested the roof remain open.

Just had a look at BBC Weather. Bit of rain but the forecast doesn’t look too bad now.

Scotland’s side looks better than Wales in almost all areas imho, and they played excellently and cohesively last week, whereas I’m not sure what Wales were trying to do. Wales to win by 10.

U20s.
26-13

A slow start but eventually a good performance. They overpowered the Scots in the last 20 minutes.

.

Bit better from the U-20s, to say the least. Scotland were 7-0 up at the break and should have been further ahead. All Wales in the last 20, though, and they got four tries to win 26-13. Alex Mann, Welsh captain and number 8 had a really good match.

I’d take that result tomorrow

That’s a much better result. Hopefully an omen for tomorrow.

It took a bit of doing but the U20s grew into the game. This could be the pattern for tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

If the U20 results can be repeated in full that would be very nice. Italy besting England for the first time in their history.

Austin Healey suggested that it’s not a given that England will beat Italy today after their performance at Murrayfield.

Now that would be a turn up for the book!

I have a real dilemma. its my sisters birthday tomorrow and she is a passionate England fan. I may need to be careful how much I cheer Italy on.

I doubt you'll have much to cheer! Not like last night

Yeah, I think we’re into miracle territory there.

All a bit doom and gloom about Wales on BBC pre match. I can feel my confidence draining.

Anyway . . . sister, passionate England fan? Sister-in-law is excusable, but sister?? What has gone wrong here?

Very long story!

That it should come to this... playing Scotland, at home, and just hoping we can keep the score respectable.

It's the hope that kills you. So I've decided to avoid it entirely...

Wales 15 - 26 Scotland

I can see Wales being on the back foot for large periods, but Biggar’s boot winning it for Wales

Ref very generous to Hogg there.

And we eventually win a penalty anyway.

Oops. Bit of nerves there Finn

How much easier is it to play off front foot ball?

6 nil. Good start wales.

Oh dear. Our defence isn’t filling me with confidence today.

Soft penalty to give away there.

I feel that there is a yellow card coming our way soon. Too many penalties, 4 in 20 mins.
