He looked quick there but he was also chased down by a lock a few weeks ago at regional level?!?!?! Im not sold yet.

Mre imortantly....3 Welsh 9's on the field and all looked good in their own departments. Webb in particular looked impressive. Howley, please take note that is how you used to play and how 9's are supposed to play. Show Mike Phillips and then tell him he is dropped!

Biggar YET AGAIN has flattered to deceive. Destined to forever be a top club 10 and no more (Nicky Robinson)?

Outstanding result from the Scots today, but I have a feeling it will fire up the Crims for their games against us.

I was at the Baa-Baas game. Great to see the reception nugget got, well deserved.

Great result for sure but it wasn't the scratch team.
For Scotland they will rocket up the rankings now and possibly oz will behind wales in the rankings. If we lose we could plummet in the IRB rankings.

I hope we win 1-2 a whitewash would be stunning but highly unlikely.

The Aussies put out a midweek team and Scotland took it as an insult. A Test is a Test though, so well done to the Scots for taking their first scalp on Aussie soil for 25 yrs!

Totally agree - we know currently it was a midweek team but records will show the Win.


Pumas beat France - but not a jot about it on BBC sport not even scoreline.... had to go to IRB.com for info.

Cannot wait until Sat - Super Sat 3 mega games think I'll write off Sunday to the sofa and F1 in a haze.

Frankly a cracking day of Rugby - not a single game I'd not want to watch.


Predictions.
NZ win
Wales win
SA win

Strong side. And it seems the Crims are making a lot of changes in the pack. Opportunity.

Pocock - Warbs will decide this game I think.

Warbs is immense but Pocock is THE 7 of world rugby. Warbs needs to wear Pocock like a second skin for the full 80mins and just prevent him to spoiling/turning over. Toby and gethin will win us ball IF warbs can stop Pocock. I think a lot of this will go down to the ref and their interpretation of the breakdown. That alone could make/break Pococks presence at the breakdown.

Im just gutted I cant watch it!!!!

Agree that is the key battle. I'd actually like Tipuric on the bench instead of Alun-Wyn as Sam has shown himself to pick up the odd injury now and then. Ryan could cover 2nd row then.
