Bet the guy whoi chucked the ball into the crowd feels a bit foolish this morning.

Should be left to play his game, not really sure why Ritchie was stripped of captaincy but seems a weird decision unless it was requested by the player himself.

Ritchie was stripped because he isn’t a guaranteed starter anymore (Darge starts when fit) and has a bad habit of getting on the wrong side of the referee. Russell is the opposite, refs like him. Not sure it impacted his game, he was unreal in the first 45 mins.

I hope those who kept repeatedly giving away penalties despite warnings from Finn are facing some hard questions in the aftermath. Their ill-discipline a large part of why we nearly collapsed. Especially Sione!

Losing Gray didn’t help us and hopefully Darge is fit for next week.

sad to read Wales legend Barry John has died, 79

Yep, very sad. They showed JPR highlights before the game in Cardiff yesterday, found myself feeling quite emotional despite not being Welsh or even being alive with JPR was playing. Barry John gone now too, 2 legends of the game.

I know what you mean, reading and seeing what they meant to welsh rugby and world rugby, even without ever seeing them play, is emotive.

These stats are crazy.

Scotland conceded 16 penalties in a row whilst Wales didn’t concede a single one for 60 minutes! And one of them was Adams chucking the ball into the crowd, so Wales didn’t concede a penalty from open play for 72 minutes!!!? That is absolutely insane, serious questions need to be asked about that referee because penalty counts like that just do not happen in pro rugby. Especially as Scotland were dominating the game for that first half.

It felt at he game that we are getting nothing from O’Keefe but I can’t believe those stats. Fair play Scotland, 14 men for a quarter of the game and against either a cheat or incompetent ref - good win!

I didn't see Barry John play, but JPR was a titan of the game when I was a kid. That Welsh side of the 70s could be terrifying!

Crosbie and Gray both out for the rest of the competition.

Pisser.

Yeah, not good. Darge is back this week so our back row should still be good. Gilchrist back from ban, would imagine he comes in for Gray, bit if a downgrade on that front imo.

Big surprise to see Ritchie drop out of the squad esp with Crosbie’s enforced absence.

[Bakerman]

Looking forward to seeing how Scotland do when they take on France today. We all know France are world class, but hopefully, we can give a good account of ourselves today.

[Jones28]

Good start from Scotland.

My sons namesake Harry Paterson has us very excited.

[Jones28]

Jeeeeeez how did we get nothing from that!

[Just_Jimmy]

We've had 10 mins with an extra man almost and we've not come away with ANY points...

Ah *****.

Can see this slipping away now.

[Aldo]

Scotland once again fail to take chances and France out of nowhere score.

Not taking the or salty just before HT coming back to haunt us so far.

Still time but need to step it up

Poor decision making and not running it enough second half costing us here.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

France go 4 up, what a strange game this has been.

[Bakerman]

Surely a try there for Scotland. Hard done by I feel.

[Keyser Sauzee]

That has to be a try

[stokesmessiah]

Absolute nonsense

[weecounty hibby]

That is ****ing disgusting!

[Jones28]

How the **** is that not a try?

**** sake that’s a real punch to the guts

[weecounty hibby]

Wales, get that, England get that, France get that, SA get that, NZ get that. We are easy to give against. Absolutely disgraceful.

[stokesmessiah]

They desperate to not give that…the TMO said it’s on the ground and then said let me look again

[Scorrie]

A shocking decision. Ref and video ref bottled it. Decisions go for the big countries?

[Jones28]

They were desperate not to give that.

[weecounty hibby]

TMO actually gave a try and then said let me take another look. Oh, hard on. France with 0 wins Scotland with 2. Can't have that, erm no try, inconclusive. Bull****

[LunasBoots]

The officials know its a try, the TMO was about to give it until he realised the rules dont allow him to give it, real pisstake, just shows VAR doesnt work in Rugby either.
