@Welsh, I hope you had your bet on?
Not convincing but a win nonetheless, pure class by Louis Rees-Zammit!
Great game

It has to be said, Wales played awfully considering their advantage against Ireland, and Scotland has to be favorites going into their match. Wales are a country which is suffering from a hangover of a past great manager which delivered a lot of silverware, and losing key coaches to rival nations, as well as several key players, which were probably considered world class retiring.
The squad, manager, and new tactics haven't really clicked yet, and I know there's a lot of discussion between Welsh fans that Pivac the head coach isn't the man for the job. Scotland on the other hand are on the rise, after upsetting one of the favorites for the title; England, and quite convincingly at that, which the scoreboard didn't show.
Despite this, you cannot ever rule out Wales. Wales are very good at slowing the game down to their pace, and bringing other teams down to their level. For such a small country. Welsh rugby has been my guilty pleasure over the years when it comes to betting, despite how well we've done in the last few years. We are almost always the underdogs in the big matches, and the odds usually reflect this.
I can't bet against my country, but if you are to take into consideration where the teams are currently, then Scotland is probably the best bet. They are on a high from beating England, and finally starting the Six Nations off with a good result, and Wales despite winning will have a lot of doubts about how they went about it.

Wales have definitely regressed and it was a shock really last year only winning 1 game
compared to the Grand Slam win in 2019.
A new manager will always bring his own playbook and players can find it hard to adjust,
I dont know why this is though because its their job, I mean its solely what they do.
I wouldnt rule out Wales either, you could say it os your national sport! and like Scotland
and Ireland you wouldnt have a vast pool of players to pick from, unlike England and France.

There's a Scottish shop in Dunedin NZ and on one of my recent trips there, Wales were playing a tour, so the Scottish Shop got renamed for the duration of the tour "The Welsh Shop". (They nearly won too!)

Today was the 3rd game in the 1st round of Six Nations Championship games
A strange but exciting game, Ireland were favourites to win the match but had a player Red carded
about 15 minutes in, but on half time were leading 6 - 13, wales regained the lead with 2 try's and 1
conversion. The last play of the game saw Ireland fail to kick to touch for a 5 metre lineout to at
least draw the match.
Here is how the table looks after round 1
wales 21 - 16 Ireland

Its an interesting feature of Rugby, The quite different codes and how the popularity of those
differ from province to province, country to country.
Ahead of todays first round of games in The Six Nations I post an article from WhatHiFi.
I know most people will have their own setup for viewing sports online, others may not, hope it helps.

_______________________________________________________________________________ ________________
EDIT
First day's results register two away wins, a comfortable win for France over Italy
and a shock defeat for England at the hands of Scotland.
Two enjoyable games, Great skill on display by France and man of the match Antoine Dupont.
Scotland brought a great game plan of "chaos" to Twickenham, England helping them
with too many penalties. Scotland take their 1st win at Twickenham in 38 years and on the
150th anniversary of the Calcutta Cup.
Highlights at least should make for good entertainment.

Is RL bigger than RU in Australia, I imagine they would have equal following?
Australia has much more success in the Rugby League than in Rugby Union. Even when facing New Zealand, Australia are big favorites and have recorded probably 3 times more wins than New Zealand has. It's a complete other ball game when they face off in Rugby Union. New Zealand will probably win 8 or 9/10 with a full squad at their disposal. February 05, 2021, 07:06:39 AM
Well I can safely say none of the NH teams let the Kiwi's win at RU!
They are the team to beat, the benchmark, and its one of the toughest tests
in the Autumn Series of games.

I forgive you Timelord2067 for omitting Ireland from your northern hemisphere touring list 
Thank for your understanding... (I prefer pints of Kilkenny over the other brand myself)

Yes, it's true we let the Kiwis win at Union so we can flog them at cricket. (True story that!)

It's true that RL is far more popular across Australia (especially on the East Coast here in Queensland and New South Wales).
In comparison, in New Zealand, the Kiwi's are bonkers for Union over League.
So, when ever the Bledisloe Cup is on everyone in Australia barracks for Australia and Everyone in New Zealand barracks for New Zealand, regardless of which code is preferred.
Similarly, if the English/Welsh/Scott's/French are touring and playing either Oz or NZ, then EVERYONE in Oz/NZ barracks for Oz/NZ against the rest of the world. (In saying thst, whenever any of the Pacific Rugby Nations tour, loyalties are split if that makes sense).

I've always followed Rugby League (not the least of which because I grew up just streets away from Lang Park). When there was talk of a Super League in Australia they should have combined all League Clubs on the East Coast, played a knock out series and had divisions like they do in soccer which would have given more variety to the game instead of it still being a New South Wales centric "National" game.
February 02, 2021, 02:36:05 PM
@Timelord2067, yes i'll post some updates but hopefully there will be
a few more visitors to the thread.
I'm not too well up on Rugby League, It's not a big sport here in Ireland.
Ive seen a few games and I do like how it flows quicker that Union.
I watched 7's also, great game, tactically it seems very different to what
i'm used to watching.
Anyway, its nice there is a Rugby thread.

I used to follow the NRL when it was aired live on Premier Sports and eir Sports in the UK. Since they switched broadcaster to Sky Sports, I am having a harder time following the league. This is the first time I see a rugby thread here and I am glad there is one. I prefer league football over the rugby union. It's faster and doesn't get constantly interrupted by scrums and lineouts.
Throughout the years of occasionally following the NRL I started cheering for the North Queensland Cowboys mainly because of JT. What a champion. I still remember the finals, it must have been in 2016, maybe even earlier. His field goal won it for the Cowboys in extra time. He had the chance to finish the game from a conversion kick in the last seconds of regular time, but he hit the post. After just a few mins of extra time he kicked it through.
His interview after the game where he is crying and shaking was an unbelievable outburst of passion, love for the game, and the Queensland community.
Thanks for reminding me of an excellent game of NRL footy, a sport that deserves more press coverage in Europe.
