I thought Scotland got a bit complacent in the second half-but was always going to win.
Scotland will give it a go in Paris scoring a few tries but the French will score quite a few more. Can you imagine the scenario if we did win possibly handing the Championship to you know who bonzo...which would be the biggest travesty of all time
Scotland 35 29 Wales

The annoying thing is Brian, Finn was 5/5 on conversations yesterday if he had converted 1 at Twickenham we would be going to Paris for a championship decider.....small margins.

I thought there would be more punditry discussion around the referee's baffling interference in Russell's match-deciding conversion - not ony making him move the ball mid-prep 4 metres for a more difficult kick, but not suspending the shot clock either, so it's not surprising that Russell so very clearly snatched at it.

Totally agree Exile, I did question this decision and the one awarding England their try. It's done now and we can't go back. Crying, spilt milk etc.

As a non-rugby person, I'm currently watching Wales versus England, and note that we have a woman, albeit a Scots woman, Hollie Davidson, running the line. Is this common in Rugby Union?

I don't think it's very common PT even in club rugby.
Very disappointing tournament with more than our fair share of decisions going against us. In my eyes that was definitely a red card tonight.
On the plus side some of our running rugby has been brilliant (over 1000m tonight)just need to convert chances. France are a class act and we ran them ragged at times. Their 7 forwards on the bench is the game changer. If only we had that depth of squad.
