Told myself it wasn't a jinx, that I was just being silly, I watched the Scotland game.

I should have turned away after the first points went on the board for Wales, but no, I watched all the way through.

We lost.

It was a damn good game, and there was a turn for the positive at the end for Scotland (through the person of Chris Paterson) but we still lost.

(And I do think Scott Murray's sending off had an impact on the score - I don't think the sending off was wrong (he kicked Gough in the head, the red card was justified) but I do think Gough should have been penalised for the late tackle that prompted the kick. (Sin-binning him wasn't enough IMO).

Next game for us is England at Murrayfield on the 25th. Tickets are sold out and it will be so hard for me not to watch it on TV as it goes out - maybe I should tape it and watch it after it's finished, that way I can't jinx it - can I?

(Working on the Faith ficlets btw - hope to have the first couple posted by the end of today! Want to leave me a prompt? Go here!)
