If Wales get drawn into playing fast and loose (as should be for a Baas Baas game) then the Baa Baas will win, but I don't know if they'd have it in them to play for the full 80 after 3 games in one week, with plenty of drinking thrown in to aid recovery...

Very true. Glad i didn't put on a bet the way it's going.

The Welsh starting XV isn't weak mind you... It's definitely a dirttrackers team but it's a lot better than some of full strength the teams we were putting out a decade ago...

15 Liam Williams (Scarlets);
14 Harry Robinson (Blues),
13 Andrew Bishop (Ospreys),
12 James Hook (Perpignan),
11 Aled Brew (Dragons);
10 Dan Biggar (Ospreys),
9 Lloyd Williams (Blues);
1 Rhys Gill (Saracens),
2 Matthew Rees (Scarlets, capt),
3 Rhodri Jones (Scarlets),
4 Alun Wyn Jones (Ospreys),
5 Ian Evans (Ospreys),
6 Josh Turnbull (Scarlets),
7 Justin Tipuric (Ospreys),
8 Ryan Jones (Ospreys)

The pack is pretty strong. Backs are very young, but Bishop, Hook & Biggar played together for ages. Williams is pretty good at inside half too.

Very true, it's still a good team. Wales playing very well so far.

reckon scotland have their match against australia in the bag and will thrash them. I am not trolling guys, laws of averages say we are due a win

[Roobsa]

So happy for Scotland. So so happy.

[jhuntley93]

massive effort from the scottish forwards today, great jublie present for the queen, laidlaw did it again, 1st toulouse in the last minute now australia in australia

[pinkpenguin]

Australia.

Great result, Scotland, must be chuffed with that.

I simply cannot wait for the Lions.

[dreamyeyed]

Scottish defence was immense today!

[Mufasaa]

Lolstralia.

[Roobsa]

Scotland, SCOTLAND, forever standing tall. Shoulder, to shoulder....oops, just borrowing it Ireland!

[jhuntley93]

i called it 1st remember, reckon aussie will beat wales cause they have a point to prove

[ForensicShoe]

Looking forward to seeing Brown, Foden and Ashton working together against the Boks. Lethal back line

Preps to Marler (great season at Quins) and Johnson (decent season at Exeter) for making it into the team.

Nice to see Haskell might be making a return at some point. Although a bit of prick, he is an absolute BEAST

Anyone following the Junior World Championships? The Junior All Blacks just lost their unbeaten record. Was an interesting match. Horrendous conditions but the Welsh defence was immense.

It's on sky but other than that coverage is absolutely minimal.

The two were more than justified. Glad to see a ref with the balls to sit more than one at once.

C'MON IRELAND

I finished finals yesterday and am probably still drunk. Still can't miss it though (if I did sod's law would mandate that Ireland would get their first win ever).

The frustrating thing is, in phases we look damn good. There was a good couple of phases in the first half when we made 40 metres or so. Then NZ tear us apart. Tbf, NZ look incredible atm.

I just wish we'd suck, rather than play 'okay'. Means we have zero hope of winning, so I don't get my hopes up.

Unfortunatley I dont have sky, miss out on most of the rugby

I have no doubts they were justified, you'd think after youve had one player binned you'd be extra careful though.

the website sportlemon is your savouire!

Also good to see aussies beating wales. welsh fans are getting a bit too cocky for my liking, how can you be considered best team in the northern hemisphere when you have a 3/4 match loosing streak against australia south africa. may i remind you i the last couple of years scotland have beat australia twice, south africa and argentina twice in argentina!
