I’m not going to comment on performance in case I jinx it.

You'd still back Scotland to pull it together after the break.
But even so, we can bank that 1st half as the best 40 minutes from Wales in - literally - years.
Just sort out the initial defence, please.

Regardless on result it is great to see attacking ball, functioning line out, aggression, defensive shape.
Maybe the new coach boost took a few games for Tandy

Jeez that pass was so slow and flat from Tomos. Thought Scotland were in beneath the posts.

I thought with ten minutes to go my forecast of 23-19 was going to come to fruition.
We will rue the day when we turned our back at kick off to allow a sucker try.

While in normal times you can't really defend losing a 15-point lead at home... these aren't normal times, are they? It's impossible not to feel just a BIT positive, isn't it?

That I'm gutted is a positive to me. I did think we'd sneak a win but given what we've seen over the last couple of years this was a proper competitive performance.

I'd feel even more positive if I felt it could be the start of something, instead of probably our only chance of a win gone. If we had Italy next, I'd fancy it, but Ireland will crush these little green shoots completely, after which Italy will be as hard as today, or worse. The record books still don't acknowledge "Almost Won / Should Have Won / Scared The Living Shit Out Of The Massive Favourites", they just say "L".

Obviously the best 50 minutes we've shown by some distance. Last 30 we had nothing, poor performance at home. Should have won that. The quick kick off, Darcy Graham try was a total fucking embarrassment. Professionals?? Jesus.

Not sure wtf Botham was doing for the DG try. It reminded me of trying to play FIFA with players running in the wrong direction.
