Wait for a try and two come along together!

Well done Scotland hope it does not happen on Sunday.

Oooo another one, their putting a bit of gloss on the score line now Wales have gone to sleep.

Stupid play from the hooker then, I thought he was off for sure.

16-9, must be time for YC soon

This is a poor Wales team that will finish in the bottom half of the 6 Nations. The Scotland team looks quite weak in comparison yet we have been unable to put them to the sword the way England did.

The right wing is rubbish for Wales, he can't catch and can't tackle and he stayed on the whole 80mins, I assume his Dad must be a selector!

Wales went to sleep to be honest but at least they scored some nice tries, and Luke Morgan looks a great find for Bridgend this season.

Must be talking about try-scorer Morgan, as Evans (the other winger) is a unit.

I think the crowd showed they were up for the rugby, the sooner the WRU get a region up north the better even if the Dragons are moved there, they can't do worse.

alun, indeed, a very vocal crowd, unusual in Welsh rugby and it's good news that the WRU are basing the U20s there

Not sure how it came over on TV but the atmosphere was brilliant at the match tonight.

The TV coverage was good except for the constant talking by S4C commentators, the crowd made themselves heard, a good home for the Welsh team, full house of 6k, can't ask for more. I hope this accelerates a North region or even get each region to play 1 match a year there in the LV cup!

alun, how likely is a 5th region given the seemingly parlous state of WRU finances (I say seemingly cos I don't know the full details?). Perhaps you're best hope is to get the existing regions to rotate thru the north, altho that won't engender much regional loyalty and might just urine fans off back at home base?

We could merge the Blues and Dragons, and the Scarlets and Ospreys and call them East and West Wales and rotate games between the stadia and put a new team in North Wales. that might work.
