I had the chance of getting 2 tickets on Friday afternoon, but just missed out, glad I did in hindsight.

Hoping this afternoon will be a good game, but have to agree, Wales should walk this one, (although Scotland have been known to upset the form book at home )

Bit of a rucking really. The Scots got on the case a bit when the Welsh backed off with a comfortable lead three quarters of the way through but it was never really a strong contest.

Wales seem intent on defending the championship and on that form will take a bit of beating.

Agreed, Wales for another Grand Slam based on this weekend's form.

Yeh, Wales are firm fav from the start, but looking forward to see them against France and Ireland. They should wipe the floor with England.

A game of rugby is 80 mins and although Wales were on fire in the first half, they did start to try to play for themselves rather than the team and they let Scotland back in. If Scotland had got that try at the end, which was let's face it mm's away, the last few mins would have been exciting.

Watched Wales v Scotland, read about the Ireland v France and England v Italy games in the Sunday paper. By all accounts some poor Italian flanker was played out of position somewhat!!

Looking forward to England v Wales on the 14th

One or two nasty "collisions" during the match; those high tackles always make me wince and I'm surprised so few result in serious injury. It has got ridiculous IMHO and needs sorting.

I think if anybody is going to give the Welsh a run for it the French will have to step up to the mark.
