I have Arundell and Earl both to score. Well , 50% there I guess.

Disappointed with England performance with 10 handling errors, but a bit of financial compensation at 6:1.

Wow.... went into the game thinking how rubbish are Scotland this year.
Now thinking England are the pits.

I thought Scotland were great at penalising a lot of England mistakes.

Scotland did the simple things really well which will always win games

The thing about Wales is not the size or population but their heritage. Rugby was in their blood and to see it being wiped out like this is terrible. 18000 tickets were unsold for the match this week which is unheard of. This is more comparable to something like Liverpool or Manchester as a city losing interest in football. Rugby is not the number one sport on many places but fir generations it was in Wales

I heard 15,000 as of last night, but whatever it actually is it’s .

I might sadly suggest that the core rugby club team support in Wales could be dropping severely as the national side struggle. And with (I might cynically suggest) so much of the crowd going to the National Stadium being ‘party’ people more interested in wearing silly fancy dress than actually understanding and watching rugby - the lengthy and continuing lack of success has that group no longer bothering to go. Yes cynical I know…just a suggestion why what would have seemed unimaginable 10yrs ago has come to pass.
