The Rugby Thread

That game turned on the scots losing possession within sight of the welsh line and Tom James running 75 metres or so. It was pretty much all Wales from that point on just when they looked like conceding some points to allow the Jocks to go ahead.

And I know Roberts got a try and man of the match from a not remotely biased Jonathan Davies but has there ever been a more limited international back with 50 plus caps?

Frustrating game.

Dodgy first try for the Welsh then I felt we dominated to half time, and were unlucky to go in only 3 points up.

Losing Hogg was a blow, and then just a bit too much power from the Welsh for us to cope with.

That said, I think we are a young developing team and no matter what happens this. Year hope we stick with the coach and continue to build. I feel that we will get the wins eventually.

Also - that was a cracking game of Rugby with two team who played with the ball in hand, throw it about a bit and who look to entertain.

A six nations win (other than against Italy) will give them the momentum to make a bit of real progress IMO.

Buzzo has had a corker in the Est league although his anti English stance may go against him tomorrow

ITV Sport - ruining rugby coverage since 1991

Good try that.

[Rigadon]

Another tight game. Italy haven't been 'blown away'... yet??

England have been poor.

England have been poor.

They'll get better. Think we'll see a few tries from England in the second half.

As an aside, it's encouraging to see the improvement in Italy (and Scotland... and France ) - makes for a much better 6 Nations.

Gifted a try from absolutely nothing

[Chazza]

Suicidal stuff from the Italians.

And that was just quality play

Gifted a try from absolutely nothing

England the stronger team but that try has turned the game.
