Nicol has benefitted from 23 caps way more than he should have.

Can we just have Eddie and Sam in the second half.

That did actually happen in the Tigers vs saints game yesterday. Saints scored and Tigers had a player binned (correctly).

One scrum penalty isn't it? Schoeman has been very effective in the loose.

I think it's done it's job to an extent. Let's the other 3 come on fresh and create havoc.
Meant penalties around the park, I think 4 between them. The ruck has been an issue and I think the other 3 would have dealt with that better as well. No domination in the scrums

They haven’t been bad, just not sure it’s really gone to plan
2 pens, one on each prop. Rambo top carrier on forwards who hasn't packed at 8.

We aren't committing to the breakdown across the park. Seems to be a team tactic. The subs should be able to provide real impact.
Rambo definitely got called for a penalty.

Anyway.

We really need to get Darge on. Ref is allowing a lot of competing at the ruck. The form 7 of thr URC is sitting on the bench.

Nigel's preferences I expect will that of his reffing. So Wales, Ireland, Scotland then I guess Italy then a big gap for France and bottom England

Nope. Very persistent fouling from Tiger's within 10 metres of the try line. Ref was correct as well.

Echoing Nige, not a fan of goal line drop out instead of 22m drop out (does it even exist any more?) I didn't realize goal line dropout applied to that scenario until relatively recently. I thought it was just for ball held up over the line.

This doesn't discourage speculative kicks, imo.

Price is taking a bit longer that usual to get the ball away. It’s fucking up our attack

Fairly static passing from Scotland. No one taking the ball at pace and fairly easy for Wales to defend.

Russell having one of his mong days but the cohesion and discipline is brutal. Wales far more organised.
