Scotland v Wales

For me, this was the game of the weekend. Me and Dan made the effort to go over to Düsseldorf to watch it in a pub there.

The game started out really good for Wales, but took a while to get a try in, and then another followed a couple of minutes later!

Scotland had a few good runs in it, too… but couldn’t get past the Welsh defence, which has been really good for a long time. And the Welsh scrum has also been really effective. The only thing Wales couldn’t do well today was kicking. Stephen Jones missed quite a lot of penalties and conversions… actually, there were no conversions despite 4 tries by Wales.

Scotland has also been unlucky with injuries during the game. Two Scottish players were replaced after being knocked out when making tackles… one of which also got him a yellow card for an illegal tackle in mid air… Lee Byrnes knee smacked him in the head and took him out.

Eventually, Scotland got a try at the final parts of the game. But Wales won by 26-13.

But it was a good performance by Wales, not the best I’ve seen though… it’s not easy winning at Murrayfield, but it’s a good sign for the forthcoming games. Like the one against England on Saturday!
