What a game of rugby that was
Immense effort from both teams and it came down to the boot

Not sure Eng deserved that but perhaps tide is turning as last two weeks managed to close out the W right at the end.

Deserved is a tough call, especially when the refereeing was so random. My big take away live was that England finally have some leadership/decision making skills on the field. If they have the courage to swap Smith for a fullback who can defend they might be getting somewhere.
Hard one that to take, Thought we played really well but the margins are so fine.
England definitely look a much better side these days as well.

Really? I thought Scotland were the better side by a long way. England were very pedestrian.
Scotland were the better side, but going on past England performances, they certainly look like they have improved.

A few things I noticed today....how were Ireland not down to 14 after that head on head? That was one of the worst instances I have seen and definately deserved a straight red and no bunker referal
The ref in Scotland England warned the Scots the next penalty would bring a yellow, so the next Scots penalty ( an off the ball shoulder barge) didn't get a yellow.
Why was Finn Russel allowed to constantly badger the ref?

Am enjoying the Italy France game…but just a little too much fancy super slow-mo and close focus (shallow d.o.f) camera work in the replays…rather than just show us the replay. No matter…another try…France this time.

I suppose he was able to in his “Co-Captain” role?…Why not have 15 Co-captains then everyone can be chirping in the refs ear?

Only the Captain is supposed to speak to the ref to any extent. He was badgering, constantly.

I was not impressed [or surprised] by the England captain saying they were going to play dirty against Scotland.

Ah, such bleating. 
I believe he said "nasty" not dirty.
My whatsapp is full of folk telling me how many Scotland would win by!
And Welsh folk claiming a moral victory!

Perhaps you’re missing the real nub of the issue….Scotland lost by 1 point because their great fly half missed all 3 kicks for conversion. That’s why you lost, because of him and no one else.

I never bleat about getting defeated when I or if my team have played well.
Scotland should have had that game done and dusted within the first half hour, they didn't, England gradually got the upper end and won..

Some result in the rugby. France have given Ireland a lesson in their own backyard.

Scotland nearly snatching defeat from victory again.
Jeez it is tough being a Scotland supporter.
Nice to see Wales playing open rugby again, it's been a while.
