Well done Wales, flake Russell lives up to his name, he was utterly shit, worst player on the field today by some distance
Russell is hardly to blame for the massive number of stupid penalties. Wales centers put in good defensive shifts.
The Welsh centres didn’t have to defend anything, we were so dull in attack all day
They are part of reason why you were dull. Russell is good at taking advantage of weak midfields. Compared to Slade and Daly (both playing out of position) they were solid and physical.

Or the knock ons. Or the tactic of continually kicking straight to one of the best FBs in B&I. Didn’t understand that when their line out was flakey as fuck last week.
I thought Williams was pretty shite to be honest. As were their 2 wingers and 2 centres. And here we are. Pathetic
Kicked excellently and made 152m(!) ball in hand.

Mostly of aimlessly kicked and poorly chased long kicks.

I thought that was the first decent game he'd had in 2 years!

Aye, we were marginally the least shite team on the pitch today, but I felt that Williams put in a good shift.

Didn't get to watch the match and really surprised by the score. Very happy with it though, I'll take any Wales win at the moment.
Best of luck for the rest of the 6N Scotland, I'm really hoping you can turn over France!

Suggest you worry about your own chances.

I seem to remember him missing a few tackles, kicking badly and putting others into trouble. I don’t always just rely on numbers

Well, I don't remember him putting others into trouble, and he missed one tackle. His kicking seemed fine, plus of course there was that huge 50:20.

I think we all saw this one coming. Confident about your chances? A trip to Cardiff will sort that out for you sharpish, boyo.

Wales vs Scotland, Six Nations 2022 player ratings: Liam Williams back to his best
15. Liam Williams
Crucial early turnover under Wales' posts and the 50:22 on the half hour was a work of genius. Imperious under the high ball and Wales' most potent counter-attacking threat. 9
Althought I hate headlines like "back to his best". On the evidence of one game? He's been poor for 2 years and based on one game, he's now back to his best....
