Wili Heinz out of the England squad with a leg injury. Northampton's Alex Mitchell (uncapped) replaces him a Halfback options alongside Ben Youngs and Dan Robson

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/54719707

"Heinz joins a growing list of unavailable players, with Exeter hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie, club-mate Jack Nowell, Saracens' Elliot Daly, Leicester fly-half George Ford and Harlequins prop Joe Marler also out of the game in Rome. Northampton lock Courtney Lawes and Sale centre Manu Tuilagi are long-term absentees."

Weird selection when you have Ben Spencer. Maybe he was a baa baa CV bubble buster?

Watson v Tipuric will determine the match

Jocks by 7-10

Your inference being Watson > Tipuric? Good as he is, not sure I buy that one.

Pivac hasn't had the best start, has he?

Getting ready for tomorrow's overdose of Rugby. Mrs M doing a pork roast (English pork is bloody great), I've uncorked a decent Pinot and there's a log fire going.

Oz-AB at a decent time in the morning and then 6N's in the afternoon. My idea of Heaven.

Willy Heinz is a ridiculous call

Four days, three spellings of Willi, and NOT ONE DICK JOKE. FFS people, lift your game.

I always hear "Willy Hides" and it is a euphemism for shagging, like "hide the sausage".

Made worse if you use a Mex-ism, like "Willy Hides has just come inside" - insert player name.

Hadn't even thought about 6N just the Bled. Have some planning to do.

Based on current form, Watson is streets ahead

Scotland beating Wales 3-0 after 30 minutes. Scoreline flattering Wales. Scotland have bossed this so far.

[sparky]

Where's this game being played?

[Victor Meldrew]

@sparky

Parc y Scarlet's. Llanelli.

[sparky]

Try to Wales. Rhys Carre after a poor Scottish lineout. 7-3

Finn Russell off.

[sparky]

@Victor-Meldrew Beautiful ground.

[sparky]

7-6 to Wales at half time.

[MiketheSnow]

40 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

Shitter than shit.

Just started raining here in Llandeilo (up the road). Second half will be a greater mess.

Scotland should be 2-3 scores ahead

[KiwiMurph]

Yeah that first half was a punishing watch.

[Bones]

That was brutal for Wales. Ouch.

Edit: Scotland attacking flair. 15 man driving maul.
