Rugby

What a game at Twickenham. Scots win but tremendous entertainment.

Every time I went to look at the match England were ahead and while I watched, Scotland reversed it.

I have the same effect on Everton.

 

[TheBigIguana]

That game was awesome.

Also Wales got utterly battered earlier.

Tory sport

 

[leslad]

Delighted for Scotland, been better than England for a few years

 

[john jako]

Amazing game.

Jocks deserved it.

Brilliant game of tory togger.

Ireland v Wales was a warning to the tier one nations - Ireland are planning to make an impact at the world cup. Farrell has them playing fast, attacking rugby with discipline and accuracy.

Wales on the other hand looked utterly shambolic. No doubt they'll raise their game against England but it's hard to see how they will give France any problems.

England... What's the point in sacking Eddie Jones if you then bring in a coach who does 98% of everything exactly the same way as Jones? Very odd.

Scotland won their world cup final again, but can they actually put together a string of four decent performances in one 6N? History suggests no - like Wales, they only seem to care about beating England. Having said that, the Scotland v Ireland fixture could be a belter and if Scotland secures a victory against Ireland then the tournament would be wide open.

This weekend will tell the story for Scotland as they really should take it to this Wales side at home, but they did say the right things post match. It did seem like they've moved to a point where beating England is a thing they do and not a major accomplishment. We'll see though.

I also don't think they played all that well so they could just lose that way.

Agreed. Scotland need to beat someone other than Italy and England if they want to be taken seriously.

I haven't checked, but I wouldn't be surprised if Scotland have never won four games in one 6N tournament.

Agreed. Scotland need to beat someone other than Italy and England if they want to be taken seriously.

The last time they won an away match with fans (not Italy) was at Croke Park so that is at least a statement that they're more serious. Worst case now they should finish third. Not doing so is a failure. No shame in losing to Ireland and France (so long as you don't get killed).

Well this (Ireland vs France) is warming up nicely.

An other once went out on a 6 nations weekend, and decided it wanted the big Guinness rugby top hat thing being 'given away', the stipulation being 4 pints of Guinness to get the hat, so bought and downed the 4 pints, duly walked outside and razzled the lot up, best part being it's head was to small for the hat. Some people are their own worst enemy.

A great lake of Guinness on the doorstep. Merciless.

The game is wide open, could be two crazy scores here.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Honestly think his foot went into touch. Bit of naughty that.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Some hit that, shoulder to head contact, Ireland lad has stayed on, and there's players taking the pish in the football re concussion protocols. wow.

 

[Jimishorts]

First mullet try of the game.
