Thank you so much Val. Right at this minute you are my favourite person in the whole world. I'll be able to play it for him in the morning before school and I will become a god in his eyes.
 
Watched my local side this weekend as I regularly do at home (and away with permission.) The visiting side, Old Halesonians, had suffered a 92-0 league defeat the week before. Well this week they didnt fare much better. We beat them 109-0. Ive never seen anything like it. Our side play in the 5th tier of English Rugby and ive been watching them for a good 10 years and ive never seen a side so bad in all my time.

Good idea - even at the best of times - though Scotland HAS improved (thanks to a Kiwi coach (till June) of course!)

But after getting beaten by Oz in last Test, there'll be a decidedly 'no mercy' attitude by the ABs!

I predict a serious drubbing - with many points coming in the last 20!
 
I’m going to tuck myself in early tonight after catching up with today’s games so I can get up for tomorrow’s England game. With NZ out a gap has opened that is very much England shaped.

A good rugby weekend this one!
 
Good battling win front England - not the prettiest game but in the conditions they played smart

Always good to continue to beat the Aussies and watch Cheka throw his toys out :whoo:
 
Good win for England but I thought the Aussies were disappointing. Still you can only beat the side in front of you. I hope that doesn't give false hope before the All Blacks come to town. That will be the real test and not one I think England are ready to solve yet.
 
I don't think England are due to play against NZ in this series of matches. I'm pretty sure they've got Samoa in their final match next week and that's it for the year. Not sure who NZ are playing, Wales or Ireland possibly?
 
fair play to the scots, cracking effort against the all blacks, especially with the injuries they picked up as the game went on and some pretty inexperienced replacements, gave them a real scare at the end, with the ball russell and hogg were both excellent at times and as a side they fronted up well especially in the contact areas

Though England were poor & lucky to beat the Aussies who got nothing. England are rubbish at converting pressure when in the 22, compare that to how incisive with ball in hand the Aussies are. Same old England, lots of effort, little skill. I’d put us behind NZ, Ireland and maybe the Aussies if the World Cup was tomorrow. If I was Cheka m, I’d be fuming too, at least 1 good try disallowed + sin bin for 3-4 defenders being offside when robshaw held the fella up

Considering we had five starting players off injured and ended with third choice front row with 5 caps between them that was some performance.
On the bright side at least it proves that Scotland is finally getting some depth of quality.

Not sure if it was lucky - wasn’t the most clinical performance but deserved the win and for all their pressure couldn’t cross the line - the disallowed try looked the right call to me , clearly obstructed Robshaw. It’s another win , 5 in a row against the Aussies and still just the one defeat in 20 plus games. Watching NZ I don’t see them that far ahead at the moment
