that doesn't mean we can't be well drilled and fundamentally hard to beat at 15v15 though.
The other issues are issues we deal with in every sport, particularly football and rugby. being small isn't an excuse but it doesn't seem to impact the Welsh or Irish all that much.

Rugby is a religion in Wales, we will never compete with that level of obsession in schools etc. Ireland has done really well. England has the infrastructure and the cash and the best players. I just think we'll always struggle to be more than 'that team that Italy have a chance against'.
I disappeared for a kick about that second half but from what I've seen 15-3 flatters us a bit.
Joke of a performance. We're making basic errors everytime we get into the French 22.
we play like the italians when they first started in the 6 nations, for years now we've only been able to dream of churning out players like the welsh and irish, and thank goodness we do have the italians for our regular 5th/wooden spoon position, infact i think we should invite the Georgians for a 7 nations championship
another french try
scottish try between the posts, how on earth did that happen
adam hastings not aware of where the touchline is
Impressive energy in these final moments. We're not shy of stamina, certainly.
Disappointing from Scotland, it's been an all too familiar 6 Nations so far.
and yet another french try on 87 mins,, it's sad but funny in a cruel sort of way
the french more or less seal 4th spot
Scotland are gash. Time for the big one
shocking from farrell kicking out to the wing there, they could have been in for another try
anyway, the visitors well on top
BBC has shown as much footage of Eddie Jones as they have off the actual game itself
welsh penalty 6-10
another welsh penalty 9-10
farrells kicking has been terrible
deserved welsh try after 34 phases
14-13
converted 16-13 11 mins left, a game of two halves
4 mins to go, england are out of time here
welsh try, oh dear england lol, the weekend bet is goosed but well done the welsh
Absolutely fantastic. Bloody brilliant.
Never in doubt.
Some of the Welsh faces in that crowd.
The joy.
Like us in 2016.
Just fantastic.
The Welsh are inspiring, were not even close to that. Why ?
3 down, 2 to go.
i wish i had saw these stats first before i put my bet on, it's 80 years since england won in wales in the last game of a decade :greengrin
That was one poor performance from Scotland yesterday, so many basic errors it was ridiculous.
What are peoples thoughts on Townsend?
My rugby knowledge is bag of a fag packet stuff but I was out for lunch through work with a very well known ex internationalist who played with GT during the week and he was scathing. Don't get me wrong I'm sure there was a personal side to it but he said Townsend was 'arrogant, pig headed and idealistic' and he would be 'found out soon enough'. He also said the relative success he had enjoyed up to now was as a result of Vern Cotters hard work and the team would be doing better now had they stuck with Cotter. He was convinced the SRU only appointed him in a panic because of his threats to walk away from the Glasgow set up and Scottish rugby altogether.
I'd be surprised if this was the case. I don't know Gregor but I do know his Dad and brother and they are both very down to earth guys. Injuries have decimated the squad and hopefully we'll be seeing a different Scotland team in the World cup. Once there is a fully fit squad then we'll see how good Gregor is.
Looking forward to the game tomorrow. Managed to get a ticket so hopefully a fantastic atmosphere.
I had £50 on Wales to win by more than 4 points at Evens. No problem. One game away from winning the grand slam at home against Ireland. I told you so.
Wales - 4 paid for my Tuesday Cheltenham bets.
Utterly not good enough. Not clinical enough, no penetration, more stupid penalties at crucial times and handling errors aplenty.
Welsh fans added a good atmosphere today (and the town was excellent fun afterwards) but I can't say I enjoyed the game - we just always felt out of it.
England will utterly hammer us next weekend too if they play anywhere near the level they did today.
