    Thank god Scotland won yesterday or my state of depression would be off the scale. I think there is a real changing if the guard at the moment. Scotland have got a younger team than we have for a while. And for the first time in absolutely years we have a good set of forwards and a good set of backs at the same time. Wales are going backwards. Guys like AWJ, North and Halfpenny didnt have much impact on the game and are hard to replace. Tupiric was a big kiss for them as well and Scotland's back row were the better if the two. The Scotland bench was stronger than the Welsh one too. All in all looking promising for Scotland

    Incredibly uncomfortable first win of the season for Edinburgh against a stubborn Scarlets side - even after they went down to 13 men (eventually getting back to 14) they were resolute and hard to break down.

    Less penalties and errors tonight, which was encouraging. Hopefully the return of our international players will give us another lift.

    Wales poor again on the weekend. Tons of pens given away.

    I think we will have a poor autumn tournament and that will be Pivac away. He dosent look the right man for the job.

    Well dont to Scotland. Played well and I dont mind losing to the country I reside in and support.

    Do you think that there is an aging group of previously excellent players in that team who no longer have the same impact on games, but you are struggling to replace them? I thought for the first time in a long time that if you were to pick a XV out of the squads the majority would have been Scots

    Maybe there is some of that but we have some really good young players and some of the players aren't that old they have just been around a long time. AWJ is the exception to that.

    Yeah, I watched the game as well. The All Blacks are just on a different level to everyone else. Fantastic to watch. Saw the 2nd half of the France Ireland game and it was decent as well. Open flowing game of rugby that went end to end, good to watch

    Watched the latter game at t-time tonight, not the same when you already know the outcome.

    Glasgow taking a bit of a batter at home to Leinster tonight, but they've sticking in there, putting them under pressure in the second half.

    Still, Leinster well ahead in abysmal conditions.

    Looking forward to it , hopefully NSW can keep their winning streak going, there's no way I could ever support a team playing in Maroon

    Usually I want Queensland to win but that colour just kills any support so come on NSW.

    both finn russell and adam hastings out of the upcoming nations cup matches with hastings likely to also miss next years six nations, costly win over wales.

    What I'd give to be standing pitchside with a beer in hand under the lights watching this. Monday night or not, I miss evenings at Murrayfield.

    I had my worries around the 60 minute mark that it was going to be called off and it just got worse...

    Great performance from Edinburgh - shutting any team out is impressive, but especially when our team was mainly second string players with none of our internationals back in the fray yet.

    Wales look pretty poor again tonight. Too many mistakes and penalties. No control at breakdown, struggling at scrum time. Not looking good for them just now
