Wait, red cards you say? Who is getting one?

The minute it happens would be nice. Bookies are kunts.

But yeah think it will be a good game but to be honest unless one side (usually/actually mostly wales) is destroying the other they tend to be a bit shit.

Game a few years ago when north scored and then Taylor scored was pretty good.

I still remember that game where you were down to 13 men for the last few minutes and we scored a couple of tries to nick the game at the death.

Yeah. I was there. Convinced a guy in front of me to stay till the end. It happens. Lee Byrne dived and that’s the hill I’ll die on

I just hope Liam Williams doesn’t go flying into a ruck, head first and with his arms at his side. He is so competitive and at times the red mist descends and he can do something stupid.

It seems both the Welsh and Scottish boards fear the other side is going to win in a very tight game.

It would be nice for Wales if Halfpenny puts the ball between the posts in the last minute to give us a winning margin, just like John Taylor did from the touch line so many years ago. There’s nothing like a little last minute heartbreak to drive a man (or woman) to drink!

That is a risk with Liam. He had that sorted for a while but indiscipline seems to be returning to his game.

Let’s hope this latest ban brings him back on to the straight and narrow and lets his undoubted talent shine through.

I think that the game where he was sent off was his first in a while after injury, and he wanted to have a massive first game back. He was involved in pushing and shoving with Josh Turnbull in that game before he was sent off. Hoping he has his usual excellent game and stays on the pitch for the full 80, and leaves any aggro to the forwards.

Yeah, hope he doesn't try too hard to make his mark in this return. Focus in the footwork not the aggro.

Not expected to rise above freezing all day. Good day for the front rows to huddle together to keep warm!

Half hour to go! Nervous.

It’s snowing a bit

I played ten seasons for London Scottish, long enough to see many of their Scotland false dawns. Often they did not last past the first game. I think maybe this one is different, based not on star players but a good team ethos. Their only real weakness seems to be not scoring points to match their domination - I thought they were at least twenty points better than England.

I am just hoping for a good game and no red cards.

Guscott agrees. He thinks Scotland by 10-15. I think it will be tight

Nice aerial shot. Need to go back to Edinburgh when these restrictions lift.

Here we goooooooo

Lineout shit. Check.

Kept the ball well but good Scottish defence.

Dammit Tompkins.

We’re giving away too many penalties

Well worked try

Scottish tails definitely up. We need to get the ball back.

Dear Lord, this has the potential to be a horror show

Ffs halfpenny with a clanger despite Warburton trying to blame LRZ.

Scrum penalty too. Nothing going right here

Oof. Heads dropping a little bit?

Halaholo on for his debut cap.

Too many mistakes. We’re not fully in this game.

Scotland’s penalties keeping us in this
