[Grassmarket 3,404]

First last-minute heartbreak game of the Comp as  put down  24-18 with the score 18-18 after 77m.

And another dramatic finish as  just hold off  18-12.

 

On to the second tranche of games starting Friday!

If you follow the other type of rugby you might think this is a shock but, as I've said before, the Wales team used to be made up of star amateur rugby union who went to the North of England to earn a living and that doesn't happen any more.

 

In fact,  had a full team from the top level leagues in Australia and England/France,  had only one player from those leagues.

No. No one does. I think they’ve one Scottish born player in the squad. Ireland has one Irish born player in the squad.  There’s no appetite for the game at all outside of Its heartlands

England beat France 42-18 but don’t show the ruthlessness they showed against Samoa last week.

Should have been less... A solid performance for the french team. Much more than most people would have expected. Still a long way to go, but the decisive game is next week-end against Samoa.
