    Amazing number of headers in this game

    It’s going to start being used as a tactic at this rate.

    Wales plenty of possession this half but never really moving forward. Hard to see where Wales go from here, there was a decent display against Ireland and last week’s comeback but they are nowhere near the level they need to be and the personnel to improve it don’t seem to exist.

    Somebody put me out of my misery. So glad I no longer have to go to work in England on Monday morning. Fucking shambles

  • England have been clinical and so dominant. Genuinely sad to see what a shambles Wales are, want to see competitive matches not a walkover.

  • Smashed Pross, never seen Wales look so bad against another home nation. Where the hell do you go from here?

    @Pross What would be worse, being pitied, or laughed at?

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    At least I can just watch and enjoy this one. Probably a good thing the Wales game wasn’t close the way my heart has been behaving lately - desperate to find a silver lining!

    So you are all still hanging out here?

    Scotland fighting a rear guard action atm.

    Earlier this evening, I would have taken any sort of guard.

    This place will self destruct in 3…..2….1….

    A bit like France atm.

    So, you try to tackle a player and accidentally make head contact and you get red.

    But you are on the ground, and deliberately try to hurt a prone player, leading with your head and make head contact and it's only a yellow?

    What planet is the bunker official on if an act of thuggery is only yellow in this day?

    Scotland don’t seem to be able to keep it up for 80 minutes. They were lucky last week and it’s happening again today.

    Scotland continue to attack off fast ruck ball. Trouble is that you can’t take your foot of the French throat for a second.

    They have certainly made it a true contest.

    Well if they win by 15+ even with two yellow cards you can't really claim it was close...

    It was a game of margins. The French were on the right side, the Scots slipped up on the wrong side far too often.

    The correct result but felt closer.

    I am sorry. You keep on fiddling. I left with the women and children.

    What a great performance in the most important game of the weekend by Bath, particularly the youngsters who into the wind led Exeter's strongest available team at HT, before a second half demolition!

    Treble is on!

    The Bath bench proving to be their trump card again. The second half was one way traffic.
