Here's another Scotland period you can set your clock by: start to do your best work once you are 3 scores down and there are only 20 mins left.

I am getting well pissed off with this ref apologizing to the players when he makes his decisions (usually Irish players)
|

By:
and commentators apologizing for choice language

Fair to say we were spoilt last night, but this has hardly set the pulses racing.

Don't know what to make of Ire here.
They have beaten absolutely nothing. Best thing is that they are racking up a nice points difference which could well be crucial in a year of a 4 horse race. |

By:
was that a try >?
|
|
By:
reckon he might just have nicked this
|
|
By:
yesssssssssss
|
|
By:
I thought it bounced out of play on first look
|
|
By:
it was a try
|
|
By:
that ball is out
|
|
By:
No try
|
|
By:
o no
|
|
By:
out but great finish
|
|
By:
so its not like basketball where if the ball is in the air and then retrieved its considered in touch
|
|
By:
Quite surprised to get matched at 1.17 there on the -24.5 when the ball was clearly in touch.
|
|
By:
scotland have done the grand slam 5 times ...1924, 1984 and 1990
|
|
By:
the ball bounced out of touch nicky
|
|
By:
yes , but in basketball if the ball is in the air and retrieved without the feet grounded and then got back in play its considered not out of play , i suppose the laws are different in rugby and the ball is considered in touch if any part of the ball crosses the line at any height above it, is that correct>?

By:
3 home wins to start the six nations
|
|
By:
yes curious cat , i fancy france to do the slam this year
|
|
By:
nicky the ball landed over the line ... on the line is enough for it to be out
in the air is still in play |
|
By:
scotland have done the grand slam 5 times ...1924, 1984 and 1990
that's three!! and when players used to warm up with a dozen pints and 10 lambert and butler,the jocks serve no disernable purpose these days,at least Italy do entertain you,the other 4 nations are light years ahead |
|
By:
no, rules same as basketball in that respect
|
|
By:
yes sorry , of course scotland have only done the grand slam 3 times , not 5 times

By:
ireland v wales next week promises to be a great match
|
|
By:
when scotland have done well it has always been about competing. living off scraps at times but full on commitment.
SJ's tactic of not competing for the opposition ball at the breakdown goes against everything that has worked for them in the past. i just don't get it. robinson used to not compete for the lineout but have them hitting the breakdown hard. SJ does the opposite and it was a disaster of a tactic today. |

By:
Scotlands problem has been clueless and talentless backs for years. Keith Robertson, Jim Renwick and Andy Irvine were real talents. Scott Hastings being most capped says it all. Scotland could do worse than copy Rob Andrew and kick for the corner relentlessly. It would get the pack nearer the try line and stop them wasting their time passing it to the backs.
