Six- Nations 2011 Scotland vs Wales
With Wales becoming desperate to halt their slide, the last place they would have chosen to attempt that is at Murrayfield.
Not that Scotland are the world's best, but it's the venue where Wales have come unstuck so many times in recent years.
Will moving James Hook from full back help Wales win or will the kicking of Dan Parks clinch it for Scotland?

I think its a good move, but we need Phillips to deliver good ball to the 3/4 trs, and we have to win our own Line outs, when we have the ball we need to use it, so often we kicked it back to England that is no way to win a game we need to protect and hold and use, structured basic Rugby Bob then and only then will we start winning games :)

Re: Six- Nations 2011 Scotland vs Wales
For me Phillips is just too slow for this level of rugby. When he tries to speed it up his passes go everywhere and his box kicking is the same, at normal speed he gets collared and rushed at speed his kicks lack height and direction. For me (and i know nothing) he is the weak link and the opposition know it. They also know that Hook and Byrne are prone to running into isolation and i'm sure (from the oppositions point) it is no coincidence that it happens as frequently as it does. Discipline against the Scots will be the defining factor, that and patience. Gatland has to be brave and quick to make the changes at the first sign of the link being exploited.
If I can help somebody as I pass along, my living will not be in vain.

Because wales have Hook we may be in for a hammering, because Scotland must have Peter Pan on their side???
