A win's a win but it was an horrendous game to watch. Something will need to be done about the amount of time it takes to sort out the scrums as they took up nearly 15 minutes of the game.

Boring, boring stuff.

Didn't realise this was on as early - had assumed it was another teatime kick off and was just about to settle down to watch it. D'oh!

Blame the IRB, can't remember too many scrums going to ground or having to be reset in years gone by. The addition of the stupid C-T-P-E before the scrums are set is a prime reason this happens, especially when the ref does not keep to the same timing every scrum.

You'll need to settle for Ireland v the All Blacks.

It's on Beeb 2 right now.

Scotland will end up forcing the authorities to change the rules. 2 wins and a draw against England and a win against SA in recent years without a single try being scored. It won't be long before the 3 points for a penalty will be reduced IMO.
