Also love the BT sport app. Great that I can stick the Tigers match on my phone when I am out on a Saturday afternoon.

BBC have just introduced a highlights show for both Glasgow and Edinburgh games. 1 hour a week I believe

That's actually what I have been saying subsequent to that initial post - I was thinking of how Scots international team casual support used to watch rugby back in the day (and it wasn't in grounds) - but reflected on how things have changed from back in the day - with Glasgow and Edinburgh strong clubs with a relatively huge (for Scottish club rugby) supporter base despite not having any FTV TV coverage - and that would hopefully provide mitigation to the risk to interest in the game rising from loss of 6N from FTV.

You are kidding, we get an hour for the whole of the premiership on ITV (40 minutes with adds) and it is on about midnight.

I certainly suspect that you would get more interest in Scottish rugby by having Glasgow and Edinburgh matches on free TV than Scotland internationals. There you have 2 strong teams playing great rugby and competing against the best.

My Mrs likes the West End of Glasgow and the part we'd live in would find me not 45mins walk from Scotstoun Stadium and I'd plan to be a regular. But as much as Glasgow would be my preference, I am thinking we're more likely to be in Edinburgh West End - so instead it would be a short walk to Murrayfield for me...no need for FTV TV
Certainly the crowd that Edinburgh v Glasgow gets in Murrayfield is almost beyond the wildest dreams of Scottish Club rugby of 30yrs ago.

Italy v England confirmed to either be behind closed doors or cancelled, still be amazed if its anything other than cancelled by monday

Agree, if Italy cannot go to Ireland how can it be safe to send the England team to Italy. I can see the whole final round being cancelled on Monday

if last round cancelled are England champions on points diff if Scotland France stays as it is? How would France get a bonus point - what's the criteria pls?

france would need to lose by 8 or less to get a bonus point (or score 4 tries)
as for champions, not sure how they are going to decide it, if at all, with games being cancelled

Call it off now, Scotland in 3rd place sounds about right.

Fairest way would be to annul the Italy games and call it over this year, then see what the table looks like then.

France self destructed with the idiot throwing a punch, and Romain getting a head injury didn't help.

I'm not sure when it actually took place but I'm really enjoying the Scotland-France match.
The Scots seem to be playing beautifully to my inexperienced eyes.
As bored as I get by Association "round ball" football, this Union game is really fun to watch. I wish we had more of it.

This result may mean that no attempt is made to complete the championship. If France still had a change of the Grand Slam , they had to play to a conclusion.
