Seems to be a lot of guys with not a lot of international experience in that Scots side.

Strong side PH, though I can never quite understand how Earls has got that many caps. Elusive runner but to me, too many fallabilities?

Although you could argue that it has taken them a long time to throw out the experienced journeymen and the new blood is better.
They spent years picking the same old same old and getting the same results.
I hope that they really are going to live up to their (recent) billing for this tournament. They play good rugby.

Yeah - he’s had a lot of stick in his career. Have to say his performance and form since going on the June tour to US and Japan and subsequently at club and international level has been superb. Scored some cracking tries and his pace still very good.

Wales strolling it in Cardiff. Second try for Wales from Halfpenny after 12 mins. 14-0

Scotland are totally lost in defence

Totally lost on attack the amount they throw it away

Glasgow 50/50s don’t transfer to the test arena.

Another Welsh penalty. 20-0 with 48 mins

Crucial

Very surprised at just how inaccurate Scotland are today. No where near the level they played against NZ and Oz.
Sloppy passing, static backline, rubbish decisions.
Wales basically only needed to turn up today. They haven't done much themselves but can't lose.

..and one of the fuckwits in the commentary team referred to the EOYT tests as friendlies!

Don't start that soccer bullshit please.

Not the first time. Bit like the exhibition match tag on Chicago test.

Halfpenny in again. 27-0

Derm McCrum

And Wyn Jones may be in for the bonus point try.

TMO time.

No try. Grounding not clear.

Derm McCrum

Steff Evans continues his scoring form with a one handed flying touchdown in the corner for the bonus point. 34-0

Bones

Pretty pathetic from Scotland. Just nothing in attack. Showed some really nice defensive patterns at times but obviously can't keep it up very long.

Yeah - but the Chicago match really was an exhibition match, and doesn't count.
Right?

Of course - same as the exhibition matches every June down south.

Billy Tell

Scotland 100% pure shìte today. Hopeless. If you’re a Scottish fan you’d be mighty deflated.

60-0 does sound like an exhibition-type match.
How about a deal - we expunge that match from records, along with Chicago?
