Well here it is.  :thumbsup:

This year.  Scotland not to be winning at half time and then being demolished in the second half as usual.  This year Scotland will be winning games.
The first game of the competition will be tricky for me.  I have to watch it in the pub due to free sodidge and chips at halftime.  Can't miss that.  :P
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

Sodidge? Is that allowed in Welsh pubs now? Or only during the rygbi?

On current showing, Scotlandshire are not bothering to wait until half-time before going to pieces :demon:

I see that there is one M. Poirot representing France today. I hope he is picked to play Wales.

Wow! Just watched the highlights of the Welsh game. The best move of the game was one where what was almost a scoring pass was knocked on by the player, in an admittedly very difficult situation. If that had ended as a try it would have been one of the best seen in Cardiff for 45 years...

Felt a bit sorry for Scotland.  Welsh kicking was brilliant, though.

I only saw a very cut-down version of the highlights and I am always doubtful that that gives a true impression of what has gone on. However, it's hard to argue with a scoreline like that.

I have to say that I thought the score line rather flattered Scotlandland.

Somewhere in a written report I read, undoubtedly in the Graun as I haven't seen another, Wales could have been "40 up by half time" if they had taken their chances.

That would have been ungentlemanly, though.  Beat them by all means, but don't crush them.  Of course, when point-differences count being genteel goes out the window faster than a politician's promise.

They appeared to wake it a bit in the second half, mind.
