It's all part of Gatland's master plan to lose twenty in a row to drop down the rankings, then get ourselves drawn into England and Australia's pool again in Japan.

So, what are the bets that Gatland steps down after this tour if Wales have another nightmare match during it? Especially considering just how bad the game against the Chiefs went.

If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.
Did anyone manage to screen shot Joe Marlers tweet about Dwyer before he deleted it?

Looks like hes in a lot of poo poo for it


Edit...apparently he called him a wanker...

You can't just go around saying things like "Bob Dwyer" without considering how many people will be offended by such a phrase.

The real Scotland is here to show everyone how to Scotland properly.

1. Alasdair Dickinson (Edinburgh Rugby)
2. Stuart McInally (Edinburgh Rugby)
3. Willem Nel (Edinburgh Rugby)
4. Richie Gray (Toulouse)
5. Jonny Gray (Glasgow Warriors)
6. John Barclay (Scarlets)

13. Duncan Taylor (Saracens)
14. Tommy Seymour (Glasgow Warriors)
15. Stuart Hogg (Glasgow Warriors)

Subs
16. Fraser Brown (Glasgow Warriors)
17. Rory Sutherland (Edinburgh Rugby)
18. Moray Low (Exeter Chiefs)
19. Tim Swinson (Glasgow Warriors)
20. David Denton (Bath Rugby)
21. Henry Pyrgos (Glasgow Warriors)
22. Peter Horne (Glasgow Warriors)
23. Sean Maitland (Saracens)

Damien Hoyland gets his first start for Scotland after a pretty good season with Edinburgh and the Scottish 7s, Ruaridh Jackson replaces injured Finn Russell and Stuart McInally comes in for the injured Ross Ford. Other than that, it's more or less the team that went to the 6N. The back row is could be really scary for Japan and the tight five should be able to hold their own against a good Japanese scrum. If the backs decide to show up then this could be a good team for Scotland to Scotland with.

The SRU and London Scottish are back in partnership, with London Scottish having addressed some concerns the SRU had with the initial scheme. Though knowing the SRU, they'll still find a way to gently caress it up.

It'll probably fail anyway, must have been a loving nightmare trying to tie down any outside investment.

Almost certainly though hopefully it'll do some good with Scottish academy players getting more game time while playing down there and maybe lift the Exiles up a bit in the process.

Dagg looking good so far, surprised Fekitoa came back after that knock - Tumanivalo looks really good.

Good test so far. Can Wales keep their chin and the tempo up from here?

Urgh. Cruden had Charteris's weight forcing his head down towards his chest there. Could be a spinal/neck injury.

Good try for Wales!
