@thepenGW: “Postponing Wales v Scotland the only choice BUT WHY HAS IT TAKEN UNTIL NOW?!?!?!?!???”

@LeanneWood: “Sensible decision.”

@QMUW1: “Absolute s***show! We left it until early this morning to travel down, just in and eating lunch in Cardiff & have found out the game is off! How about a refund for our expense? @WelshRugbyUnion”

@JohnHartson10: “Wales v Scotland 6 Nations cancelled.. I’m sure the many thousands of Scotland rugby supporters will drink Cardiff dry ..the rugby game was just an excuse.”

@c_gentles: “well done @WRU_Community nothing like leaving it to the last minute! Question what is there to do in Cardiff? Asking for me and my 10,000 Scottish friends!”

@alistair_firth: “Thanks, I'll now have a needless weekend in Bristol and Cardiff costing hundreds”

@cforrest0: “Right decision. Health first.”

@scrumpyjack100: “Thanks lads. Just paid for train down after delaying as long as I could. At least the train in this country is cheap eh”

@Laudywills: “And now all that have arrived are going to be drinking for 2 days in all your pubs etc, so stupid. Should of been cancelled days ago.”

@nickandrews14: “Shockingly late decision. I’ve just driven from Edinburgh and arrived in Cardiff with the lads. Will the SRU and WRU be covering our rounds in Walkabout tonight?”

@PatonGordon: “Wales clearly scared they would get beat”

@formulagazz: “Finally common sense should never have taken this long @WelshRugbyUnion and @SixNationsRugby should have done this hours ago”

@Dunfy_Squirrel: “Brilliant!!!, just arrived in Wales to the news that game is cancelled. So 100% of the fans are here this ain't gonna help”

@johnmurrayjnr: “Great decision, awful timing”

@AngieBarclay1: “Very poor show from WRU Thinking face waiting till just before the Scotland squad do their captains run to announce cancellation of game, not to mention all the fans who have travelled to Cardiff #Disgraceful”

@heathercbeck: “Poor communication, in light of what’s happening throughout the country this should have been cancelled days ago!!!! Now many of us are in Cardiff, what’s there to do here for a long weekend????”

@IslaStewart86: “right decision but not good enough - can you let us know who we can contact to get our money back? We're going to have to fork out again to come see you when the game is rescheduled so it's only fair.…”

@theGavinHill: “Absolutely shocking! Left house in Fife this morning enroute to Cardiff by train now because of yesterdays confirmation. Cancelling last minute is just wrong.”

@KHWmworld: “Having just arrived in Cardiff from Scotland really struggling to understand why it was left to 24hours before the game when clearly everyone has started travelling, to postpone. The decision should have been taken days ago.”

@HereIGoAgain847: “As disappointed as I am I won’t be at the match tomorrow I understand & am grateful for the stand that has been taken. Health & safety should be paramount in everyone’s minds at the moment. Looking forward to the Autumn, thanks for the last 6 weeks”

@NickJvR93: “What's the script with compensation? Travelled and arrived in Cardiff already. 24h before k/o and 3 hours after receiving an email saying the game was to go ahead. Understand the concerns but this late on is a bit disrespectful to travelling fans Scottish and Welsh alike”

@The_Jam_Baron: “It’s not the decision, it’s the timing. I’m already in Wales having taken 2 days off work, time and money I won’t be getting back. Very disappointed”
