Vern should get an Hon Knighthood INVHO
[Not that I believe in the honours system ]

A knighthood for what exactly ?

Excellent second half from Scotland.

Hopefully Gatland in the crowd will finally see that he can't have a Lions Squad full of Welshman

 

[SocketRocket]

That was pleasin., Still plenty boozing to be done today.

Triple crown?

Nah!

Services to playing rugby the way it should be played. [of course]

Sometimes you are too obvious - is there somewhere written down which states "the way it should be played"

Delighted to see Scotland win.

Wales' Webb is the worst kind of scrum half, always chirping, disrespectful to the officials and he spends way too much time on his hair. He should be a footballer, not a rugby player.

He has taken over from Phillips perfectly in that respect :thup:

Try 'entertaining'.

I find it a bit ironic that Scotland are playing like the French used to play before they became 'boring'.
I think the French fans are a bit like the Scots fans, and like the Welsh fans used to be......better to try and win a game than try not to lose one.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Very good game and Scotland were fantastic in the second half. Even better when you consider who was missing through injury. Not sure about the Welsh. Are they a team in decline or just having a few bad games and not getting the bounce of the ball

 

[IanM]

Blimey...they've cancelled the Winter League tomorrow at 7pm tonight...... blaming the forecast of heavy overnight rain.

......Wales lose a game, whole place goes into mourning

 

[Val]

Scotland now up to 5th in the world rankings

 

[turkish]

Italians kicking woeful

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Referee explaining the rules of the game to the England captain.......priceless

 

[Norrin Radd]

England are making hard work of what should be a relatively easy game.

It's not over by a long shot, I still fancy England will push on and win comfortably

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Well played Italy, and o'Shea, that was an 'interesting'40 mins.

1/200 shots have become 1/20 shots. Betting markets still think its a done deal. England need to work it out though as the gameplan is being badly exposed and they look exceptionally short of ideas so far. Losing the breakdown yet again and defense as bad as ive seen it for quite a long while

I don't think England are playing badly, just the Italian's have pulled a blinder in not contesting in the breakdowns. Its bedlam, England need to come up with a plan ASAP to combat it.

its not difficult, if they arent committing players to the ruck then you just pick and go and make them constantly make one off tackles around the fringes, just keep going through the middle of where the ruck should be, the inability to a) know the rules and b) think on their feet is pretty embarrassing

At moments like this we really miss Bill McLaren.
