Scotland V Wales yesterday

First of all, what a game. What. A. Game.

Secondly, just want to wish Thom Evans a speedy, and hopefully full, recovery. Some scary stuff going on right there. Also wishes to Chris Paterson who suffered and injury to his kidney.

Rough game lads, rough game.

Gutted I missed it, heard the report on the radio in the car & it sounded like a great game.

The Ireland-France match was a good one too, France are looking so good it's scary!

I take it you have heard about the injury Thom Evans sustained? Serious neck injury, was in surgery over night.

Ooooooh! Watched the game. Brilliant! Felt really sorry for Scotland though

Hadn't realised Thom Evans' neck injusy was so bad.

Apparently he has some movement in all of his limbs so hopefully he will make a full recovery. Leaves a question mark over his career though.

It was a fantastic game, although I was only able to watch bits of it....importantly, the bit at the end where we won...but it's like every game we play against Scotland...bittersweet. There is no better atmosphere I have found in rugby than being at a Wales v Scotland match either in Cardiff or Edinburgh. We sing along to eachothers anthems, cheer eachothers victories and are willing to admit, even after such a good victory, that if the result had gone the other way, it would have been more than well deserved.

I hope Thom Evans makes a full and speedy recovery and I also hope Scotland kicks some a$$ now that we've had our game against them!

Big muscly quads! Cworr!
Em... sorry, I mean, great game!

Hadn't seen that & it wasn't on the radio report I heard either. I've seen the highlights now though & I hope he recovers from that. Latest report said he has movement back in his arms & legs, hope that is a good sign...

I think that's true of rugby crowds in general - I was at the Millenium Stadium for Wales v England a few years back and I was a solitary Englishman in a sea of red shirts (some of whom were my mates, mind), but the atmosphere was great & even in the bars in Cardiff afterwards there were England & Wales fans all having a laugh together.

Compare that to football however...
