Huge 5 plus minutes. England have brought on pace and it has worked.Quote:

England on the front foot.
Nerves starting to kick in
Once again superb ruck but drop the ball
only that Irish TMO has stopped us having a three out of three
Phew - nae sweat really in the end 😅
What a strange game, it was littered with knock ons and there was no real pattern of play but in the end we just merited the win thanks to Finn's immaculate kicking and of course Duhan's brilliant hat trick of tries.
What a magnificent stadium Murrayfield is when it's rammed to capacity like it was today.
aw man that lassie that screams over the sound system at murrayfield
She does ma head in to put it mildly.Quote:

ooohh 14 man France 13 Italy 13 with 8 mins remaining
Italian penalty and the clocks in the red with a shot at the sticks
aw man hits the post, that's a real bummer for Italy, coulda woulda been a first win for them in France

Scotland 2nd at the moment
don't get me wrong i don't think we will beat Ireland but finishing runners-up would have been great
next up, Italy

He's been a bit of a tabloid tart recently. I think that's the second "disturbance" this year, and then there's the shenanigans of his private life.... :rolleyes:Quote:

good win for Glasgow at Benetton FT 9-19, Glasgow top at least until Leinster play later this evening at Cardiff
Looking forward to tomorrow. Really like the look of the team, few changes but still strong. Horne, Christie and Redpath are all exciting options to bring in.
2 tries from Duhan tomorrow will break the record, 15/4 with Bet365.
I have a feeling it's going to be a disappointing day tomorrow. We really need a BP win, and that Italian team look bloody good on paper. We also realistically need to hope England do us a favour, or it's competition over by 7pm tomorrow...Quote:

no doubt another hammering awaits against an Ireland side next week going for the title after they scored an injury time Try against England for the draw 32-32
Pretty shameful result for Scotland that. Obviously something seriously wrong with the development path.Quote:

Good start from Scotland, 3-14.
Easy peasy for Scotland here. Playing it perfectly. 3-14
Great response from the Italians, 14-10.
