Hoggie looked a bit shy when asked about it in the interview.
I thought it looked like it hit his chest and chin at the same time.
Too many fouls given away by Scotland, they would have really stolen a point at the end if that kick had not gone over.
Brutal game with both teams not at their best.

If you can't win your own line out, you're not going to win the game

Our throw ins were rubbish again.
I thought that problem had been sorted.

When I saw The Exiles completing a narrow win over the Warriors...
I thought there's a good omen...

we just have to take this on the chin - as Hogg kinda did...neat footballing skills from him and Russell. Pity latter had to go off...hurt us as I think he was the can-opener.

Got me wondering if you could deliberately head the ball forwards.
The rules have probably changed after my last game in 1963.

RugbyRefs.com - Is it legal to head the ball in Rugby Union?

Well that is as clear as mud.

Nice wee tune from Scots Trad/Folk royalty.
Even if you don't like it send off a wee donation for Doddie.

Hoggy to start as stand off vs the Italians.
Well that has my interest.

That is certainly given me a reason to watch the Italy match (normally do not bother too much as the results are generally obvious).

I’d be worried that starting at F/H, being that bit closer to the opposition defence from set piece, may stifle his ability to attack, ball in hand.

Quiet tonight

 

[USER1999]

Ireland going well.

 

[Voyager EMH]

Looks like a 3rd place/5th place play-off. Final later tonight maybe.

I love them.
What a change to have 6 nation ref's that do not ignore some of laws of the game.
The big game coming on soon. Come on Wales, make it a Celtic weekend.


I hope Scotland refuse to play France if English clubs do not release their players.

 

[Captainron]

Also. England need to lose that Umbro kit. Chavvy football brand that

Why would you release players for a tournament that is done and dusted? Just cancel the game.

Scotland should be awarded a walkover, wasn't their fault France couldn't play.

For sure.
