Rugby

[Jones28]

Off to Twickenham for the game, fly tomorrow - first away day since covid!

Scotland really should be winning this. Settled team with established combinations all over the pitch, Russell playing some of his best stuff, the form side in this fixture over the last 5 years, England in transition (and not very good anyway). It’s all there for us to continue the run against them and set ourselves up for the tournament.

However, much like Hibernian, usually it’s games like this that Scotland let us down. Fingers crossed they will put in a big performance.

Scotland as favourites? No chance, but my nearly 2 year old son, who was brought home the night of our last victory down the road has never Scotland lose against they *******s and long may it continue.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Ireland have a few first teamers out and their scrum-half just tweaked a hamstring in the warm up


didn't realise it's 10 years since they last won in Cardiff


great start for them though, converted try within three mins 0-7

8 mins 0-14

[hibsbollah]

Wow!!!!

[cabbageandribs1875]

brilliant 2nd try scotland


will go down as one of the best this series


ffs russell off the post with the conversion, not a hard one either

[hibsbollah]

Broke six tackles. Six!!!

[EH6 Hibby]

I’ve not got a clue about rugby and even I know that was an amazing try.

[Just_Jimmy]

Russell is having a poor game. He needs to switch on.

We have the ball on the England 22 on the half and end up coming away with nothing, turning it over and going in behind...

I was realistic about the game as it was developing. We played well but we also need to tighten up, which has been as issue throughout the Townsend era.

We're hugely talented, but we're still not France or Ireland.

We do have a chance, but that's all it is. A chance.

I'll be at Murrayfield for the games. Back it up...

****ing yaaasssss!!

Deserved as well.

[Lost_Mackem]

Very well done Scotland. You’ve dominated this fixture of late and I imagine this win was probably the sweetest of the lot.

Very depressing being an England fan at the moment and it has been for a good few years. These players do not reach the same heights for country as they do for club. I thought Farrell and Itoje were atrocious again. I’d drop them both as they both seem to think they’re untouchable. They’ve been rank since the 2019 World Cup.

Every English try was hard work because of Scotland’s excellent defence. Every Scotland try came through massive holes in the English defence because the players were too lazy to fill them. These holes were right in the middle of the ****ing pitch. Professional rugby players? They should be embarrassed. The amount of missed tackles was extraordinary. Borthwick and Sinfield have their work cut out with these ****ing chancers.

Anyway best of luck for the rest of the tournament. Beat Wales next and it sets you right up for a potential Slam.

[Golden Bear]

Superbly managed by Toonie !

Italy unlucky again FT Italy 24 France 29

March 2013 their last home win in the six nations

[cabbageandribs1875]

so, after 15 straight defeats Scotland U20's finally win a game, four years since a home win, the commentator describing it as a famous win, beating Wales 18-17

even getting two pops at goal pretty central and still couldn't add another three points, first one hitting the upright and the 2nd one i honestly think i would have slotted it over, went about 10ft wide


after 82 fixtures at U20 level they've won just 18 games, Italy the only side to win less but the Italians are looking very good nowadays


we've 'won' the wooden spoon four out of the last five seasons, maybe some other side can 'win' it this time :greengrin




as for the senior side tomorrow we're attempting to win our first two games for the first time in the six nations.

[hibsbollah]

Oofft sensational try from the French . 13-7 Les bleues after 18 mins.

[hibsbollah]

And a sensational response. I’m not a big rugby fan but this is top quality.

we're determined to let Wales back in this



points from this visit would be most welcome

wow thought that was held up :greengrin 11-0 conversion to come, 13-0

Turner sin bin at least

wales right back in it 13-5 conversion to come


maybe we might get some territory ourselves 13-7


Welsh blow a great chance to go in at HT ahead still 13-7, this is not great

[cabbageandribs1875]

does dempsey not know the rules regarding choking an opponent, eejit



thought he had spilled that there, anyway 18-7 conversion to come tough angle though, lovely kick 20-7


nice one 25-7 confident now :)

[hibsbollah]

This second half has been the Finn Russell show.

[cabbageandribs1875]

is this officially a hammering now :clapper: 30-7 russell misses an easier conversion this time

I know they are really expensive but what a difference hybrid pitches make, look at the state of Easter Road compared to Murrayfield which has concerts and all sorts on it, def an investment we should be thinking of

why did horne not kick it out lol

So, just in from the Rugby Club and I am askolutely blootered! Ireland played well but got the rub of every decision. Scotland played very well and rhe scoreline didn't flatter us at all. We were by farvthe better side and deservedb5he bonus point win!! Both Ireland France have to go to Twickenham so we are in pretty good shape going into week 3. I am now away to my bed as I am absolutely oot my box!!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[Sylar]

Only seen the highlights of Ireland v France, but it looked like Barnsey had a questionable day in the middle - Lowe was out, no 2 ways about it. France lucky to escape with a yellow when they should have seen red. I might watch the full game, as I've seen a few folks I follow from the rugby world on Twitter suggesting some of his penalty decisions were poor too. Ireland looking quite formidable just now though.

Was at Murrayfield yesterday and it was so nice to see us finally stick one on Gatland. Thought we were OK first 20 minutes, dreadful in the 2nd 20 minutes, imperious in the second half. Some of the offensive rugby we played was so easy on the eye - fast, creative, solid...our discipline yesterday was excellent for a change, very few handling errors or failure to release in breakdowns. Finn eventually came into a game and dominated that second half - his vision at times is ridiculous.

It had no impact on the game, and I know he represents the IRFU, but I was really surprised that a Welshman was in charge yesterday - he had a good game mostly, but a strange decision!

[Donegal Hibby]

Thought Ireland played well yesterday against the worlds 2nd ranked team . Definitely didn't get all the decision's our own way France should definitely have got a red card for what can only be described as a dangerous high tackle. Ireland next opponent is Italy away and is a game i'd expect us to win , while Scotland are away to France which is never easy . After that both Scotland and Ireland meet at Murrayfield which won't be easy though I fancy our chances the way we are playing and with being the worlds number 1 team . Scotland's last game is Italy at Murrayfield which they will win . Ireland's last game is England at the Aviva stadium . Both Ireland and Scotland are very much in the mix though i think Ireland will win there next 3 games 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪.

Watched it in full earlier - aside from the yellow that could have been red, almost every decision went Ireland's way.

That Lowe's try stood was laughable - no point having a TMO if they're going to miss a decision THAT big.

I think you have too much quality to not win it this year - I'm naturally pessimistic being Scottish and think we'll lose both our next 2 games before beating Italy to finish 3rd...assuming England don't find some serious form between now and the final day.

[heretoday]

Scotland don't drop the ball so much now!
Very professional.

There’s lots of problems within welsh rugby at the moment. The way Welsh rugby is structured for international selection means that you have to play in wales for one of the 4 teams to be selected. You can only be selected from outside of wales if you have 60+ caps, which is where the money is.

Further to that, the WRU is a bit backwards in the way it allocates its funding. The majority of it goes to amateur clubs with the four franchises getting proportionally way less than they need to keep their Welsh talent in sales and therefor eligible for international selection.

Why were one of the weeks of his ban not the Edinburgh v Leinster game on Saturday? That's exactly what Farrell got after his most recent red, and the RFU counted the Edinburgh v Saracens game as part of that (even though he would never have been playing in it anyway), and he was ergo available for the 6 Nations game v Scotland.

The issue isn't that Gilchrist misses 3 Scotland games, it's that Farell got to use a club game to shorten his England ban.

We're on the same page - my issue here is the disparity in how the rules are applied across different unions/players. Farrell seems to get special treatment, yet Gilchrist gets the hammer thrown at him.

I don't mind not seeing him in the remainder of the competition (it was utterly stupid from him and we have some ready replacements), but these rules should be universal in how bans are served.

I think 3 games is fair, not ideal but at the level for similar offences.

I hope the ref gets roasted, to question Haouas as "not dangerous" when he ends up with a 4 match ban is ludicrous and summed up his abysmal performance.

[mayo hibee]

Was at the Under 20 game last night. Massive physical difference between the two teams to the point that I was more worried about the safety of the Scottish players than anything.

Scottish 9 went off before half time with a very serious looking injury after trying to tackle an Irish lad nearly twice his size - hope it is not as bad as it looked.

Even though the senior team is going well the SRU really need to work on the standard of the underage side, the 82 point score and 75 point winning margin last night were both 6 nations Under 20/senior all time records.

Ireland could well annihilate England next weekHopefully.

Scotland defended well. Got a few questionable calls against them but nothing that would change the game.

The decision to go for the line at the half was the correct one, if it comes off you have a lead to hold into second half, if it doesn't you're still a point behind. A kick doesn't change much.

We're still not quite at the table against the very top sides but we are a good side. I really wish we could cut out the daft penalties and handling errors.

Ireland are ridiculous.

Yep, Scotland gave it their best in that first half but Ireland look phenomenally strong in every area and steadily took total control. Awesome.

[JimBHibees]

Warburton on BBC commentary saying what Scotland should have done against the flanker doing the line outs for Ireland we only started doing it when game over and he was all over the place. Really struggle with Fraser Brown line out throwing never seems to nail it and admittedly going back to the World Cup at Twickenham against Australia. Last week misses the key line out this week again. Seems like still at times subs are made for no apparent benefit

[Sylar]

I predicted 3-2 before the competition started. Sadly, barring a drastic change in personnel/coaching, that's as good as it's going to get for a while.

Finn is (on his game) world class - sadly, we're lacking in others who fit that category. Our entire back row were garbage today.

[weecounty hibby]

Gilchrist missing was huge for us, he calls the linouts, he leads the linouts, he carries ball and makes heaps of tackles. Goes about his business quietly and effectively. I though that Demosey was ok but the others were poor. 10, 12, 13 were fine and Steyn had a decent day. Thought Hogg was poor and Duhan had all of his weaknesses exposed throughout the game. Ireland are a class act but it's the infrastructure below their international side is light years ahead of ours. Scottish Rugby is in a total state below pro level and it shows.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Russell and Hogg both out for Saturday

[weecounty hibby]

Russell will be a miss, Hogg not so much. As long as they play Kinghorn at 15 and not 10 we'll not miss Hogg. Not sure who I'd play at 10

[Just_Jimmy]

I agree with you, looks like it’s kinghorn at 10 thoughI'm not Kinghorns biggest fan at 10 but he's played better team at 10 and won. He's a valuable asset as he can almost play 10 to 15 anywhere. Ollie Smith at 15 deserves his opportunity and he's a prospect.

Healy will hopefully make his debut at 10 as I think he's the long term successor to Finn.

Ashman and redpath hopefully gets time.

Horne can feel hard done by especially since he's massively out performed price this campaign who's shown nothing of his lions form.

Italy will be no pushover but it's a chance to blood some players for the world cup too which will be badly needed in a tough group.

Writing was on the wall for him anyway. I think that Kinghorn would have been first pick full back next year anyway.

I agree, no danger they will beat Leinster. Edinburgh are on a horrible run and were utterly atrocious this evening. Despite that, Leicester struggled. The English prem really has fallen away, no longer anything near the top league.

Leinster will smash Leicester, at home I’m sure as well.

[Sylar]

Anyone watching Edinburgh? Raynal might be the worst ref in world rugby.

Peyper would give him a run for that title, but he wasn't great last night.

That being said, he wasn't the reason we lost. An inability to get the ball into attacking areas - after 30 minutes, I genuinely forgot Duhan was on the park.

Errors, ill-discipline, an inability to convert...sums up the season sadly. Coaching and culture a large part of the problem.

On paper, our squad and starting XV is scary - the reality of it is much less troublesome.

Yes, there was a disappointing crowd last night , various factors could have been the cause - Easter weekend , other sports on the box, pricing, scheduling and the fact that the Old Firm Derby took place earlier in the day and this possibly discouraged folk from coming into the city in case of ongoing trouble.

Watched the second half of the Glasgow game and thought they were very good and deserved to win. The Scarlet fans were quite funny putting the pressure on the ref looked like most of them had been at the pop all day. Andrew Cotter mentioned a brawl in the crowd saying it was the first time he had seen it at a rugby match. Ref did well to withstand the pressure they were putting on him. Final in Dublin assume loads of Scots going over for that.
