flip, that'll teach me to check if it's FT first

***Sylar*** · 24-10-2020 06:48 PM

Ospreys really are a completely different animal this year under Toby Booth - they're playing some really explosive stuff, but are also controlling games very well indeed. A poor outing from Glasgow, but obviously missing some key players to the Georgia game yesterday.

Looking forward to France vs Wales in 10 minutes. Should be a cracking game.

***Sylar*** · 24-10-2020 07:12 PM

What an explosive start!

Wales with a try inside the opening minute.

***Sylar*** · 24-10-2020 07:48 PM

France finding their stride now - 3 tries in response to the Welsh going ahead - some incisive and very fast rugby from the French.

***cabbageandribs1875*** · 24-10-2020 08:37 PM

as good as they can be it's astonishing the amount of penalties the french give away

another french try 31-16

then concede a try straight away lol

31-21

lovely try 36-21. conversion to come

***cabbageandribs1875*** · 25-10-2020 03:14 PM

well done the women getting a 13-13 draw with france, if it wasn't for the very poor line-outs they really could have won that, they had the the bulk of the possession just a pity at those line outs. beautiful conversion for our try as well, hastings would have been proud of that kick

**nellio** · 26-10-2020 01:06 PM

France looking really decent at the moment.

Wales Scotland will be a good game this weekend. Hopefully we (Wales) will just edge it.

England v Barbarians game off on Sunday, 12 Barbarians players breached Covid protocols.

One of them said he was "Beyond gutted" at the outcome. Typical rugger talk.
Didn't sound entirely genuine!

I think this is one of the better chances we've had at getting a win down in Wales - the squad look harmonised, our star players are performing well and we're making fewer technical mistakes than last year. The addition of van der Merwe gives us a high-speed tank on the left side too, with the explosive pace of Darcy on the right. If we can keep it competitive and manage the breakdowns well, I think we could genuinely come close to getting a much needed win!

Hope it's a good game regardless of the score.

***cabbageandribs1875*** · 31-10-2020 01:20 PM

great chance for 3 points in the first two mins but russell puts it wide

sigh

***cabbageandribs1875*** · 31-10-2020 01:52 PM

another **** up by the scottish line out leads to a welsh try, russell off injured, not taking advantage of our early possession, only one way this will go now imo

7-3

***weecounty hibby*** · 31-10-2020 02:02 PM

7-6 HT. Shouldn't be behind at half time but still think we will go on to win

***cabbageandribs1875*** · 31-10-2020 02:02 PM

Hogg not happy with the captain deciding to take the penalty instead of kicking for touch down at the try line.

HT 7-6

Hogg is the captain. It was the right decision to take the points in the end. Guaranteed 3 rather than a possible 5/7

***Sylar*** · 31-10-2020 02:15 PM

Need to utilise the wind now in the second half. Played well but haven’t capitalised.

oh right, why did commentator say hogg was disappointed with fraser browns decision to go for the posts

***cabbageandribs1875*** · 31-10-2020 02:35 PM

when your told by the referee to use it price...******* use it

woop scottish try :)

i cant believe hastings missed that conversion

**Magpie** · 31-10-2020 02:44 PM

Abysmal conversion

**Magpie** · 31-10-2020 02:47 PM

That’s how you take a penalty/conversion

***cabbageandribs1875*** · 31-10-2020 02:48 PM

brilliant kick halfpenny, makes hastings attempt look even more ridiculous

hastings pass intersected. he's not having a great game is he, now off injured

mon scotland get another try

***cabbageandribs1875*** · 31-10-2020 03:04 PM

penalty scotland

14-10 should secure the win :)

really could have been a lot more

first three wins on the bounce for 24 years, only a 3rd away win(exc italy) in 42 games

not a classic by any means but well done

***weecounty hibby*** · 31-10-2020 03:08 PM

Good start to the day. Ritchie deserved man if the match in a deserved victory. Positives to build in!! Right, cmon Hibs make it a Carlsberg day

I just don’t think Hastings is very good. Would be great to have a more capable back up behind Russell. His kicking is terrible.

Only caught the last 20 but what caught my eye was the lack of stupid mistakes that usually pop up with Scotland. Seemed very disciplined.

I’d like to see Jaco van der Walt get a call up when he becomes eligible. I think he’s an upgrade from Hastings.

Having said that, an exceptional performance from Scotland. Much better discipline from us!

hfc rd · 31-10-2020 07:15 PM

The only highlight of the day. Scotland were tremendous particularly our defensive game. Very disciplined which is the most pleasing aspect of this big win. Only got breached once which came from a very poor line out in our own 22.

Hopefully we continue this form and momentum going forward.

wales had(i think) about 14 turnovers so not that disciplined

of course we have to give scotland credit for the win but, that welsh performance was one i've not witnessed for a long time.

elsewhere that was a hammering the all blacks dished out to the wallabies this morning 5-43 to win the series
