Rugby Union

Great scotland performance. Really looking forward to the 6 nations. The tournament just buzzes when all teams are on form.

Brilliant from the Scots but the Aussies were woeful again. The Scots are making some great progress and will be a tough game for everyone in the six nations. Not sure they can win it but they'll cause every side plenty of problems
 
Had to watch it today to make sure it happened, great day and great atmosphere at Murrayfield again. Scotland have nothing to fear in the 6N and all to gain.

And in other news Glasgow Warriors minus their 24 international players spanked Ospreys in Swansea. My teams scored a collective 100 points in 2 games this weekend
 
Good to see the new semi pro Scottish Super 6's league set up.
Glasgow not happy as the SRU choose three 'old school' Edinburgh teams along with Melrose, Ayr and Stirling County.
Hopefully it will soon expand to eight to include Glasgow Hawks and an Aberdeen team.

As for Glasgow complaining (although unsure what Glasgow you mean Hawks or Warriors) Glasgow Hawks had justification to complain as the SRU went against their own criteria by awarding Edinburgh 3 franchises when they stated no area would get more than 2.

As for expansion, it's there for 3 years, no Aberdeen club even bid for super 6 so unsure why you think expanding to 8 may include them, more likely Dundee who missed out if the do expand it that is.

I'm not convinced it will work, I hope it does though

Cipriani back in favour...

He's the form 10 in England currently so it shouldn't be a surprise. The biggest surprise is a call up for Cam Redpath, 18 year old and played nothing in pro rugby, compared to Marcus Smith who is a star in the making at Quins.

I wonder if EJ called Redpath up to tie him to England before Scotland grabbed him

He's been on the naughty step for so long now [with regard England selection]...
I didn't believe, without change of management, he'd be allowed off it...

From the televised matches I've watched, recently, he's been in top form...
However, I am not convinced EJ views him as an Eddie Jones type of player...
Hopefully, he does get a proper chance in SA...

This call up maybe another EJ trick to stop him going to France as I fancy if Cipriani thinks his England career can be resurrected he'd stay in England

I'm unsure if I'm giving EJ too much credit on that front though and it's maybe just coincidence
 
cracking semi final between Sarries and Wasps. Sarries so strong early and a good job they had a decent lead the way Wasps attacked ball in hand, some stunning tries (some given and some not)

Farrell was top top class, as he so often is in the big games, lets hope both Vunipolas are fit for the final next week

Yes, a good watch...

Saracens will take some beating, in the final, on this form...


Oh and... The Gopperth non-try was a poor decision by the video ref...

Watched it in the pub before going on to Wembley, far more entertaining than the football was.
