bit of a hammering for Edinburgh today Lions 55 Edinburgh 21, leaves Edinburgh three defeats out of three



in the women's WXV 2 it finished Japan 13 Scotland 19

[Golden Bear]

There was a magnificent attendance of 80,468 to watch last night's fixture between Leinster and Munster - that's a record for the URC.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Edinburgh will win this but my goodness the lineouts have been so poor. then a poor lineout by Cardiff right at the end let Edinburgh in for the bonus try

FT 27-8


Glasgow beaten at Sharks in the afternoon 28-24

Was genuinely expecting us to lose at ht. We were awful…

Fair play to Glasgow nabbing 2 bps against that Sharks team!

even worse today that scoreline flattered Edinburgh, Ospreys 22 Edinburgh 13 that 2nd half was played almost entirely in the Edinburgh Half, Ross Thomson's kicking is very poor, following on from last week.

good win for Glasgow though Stormers 17 Glasgow 28


international Japan 19 New Zealand 64

Time for Edinburgh and Sean Everitt to part ways. His coaching is simply not working.

An all-star roster of players but a terrible team.

i see Sione Tuipulotu has been handed the captaincy for the upcoming autumn tests with a call up for his wee bro at Edinburgh

Townsend not happy with jonny gray choosing to stay with his club side, he's been playing regularly since coming back from injury

Townsend is quite right too, IMO. Gray done with Scotland most likely (certainly as long as Gregor is head coach).

Mosese has been great for Edinburgh (one of a few shining lights) but I don't see him getting much opportunity during these tests (lots of competition at that space).

still 22-17 England after 75 mins then try all-blacks with a brilliant try and even better conversion from out at the touchline 24-22 all-blacks

then all-blacks do what they've done most of this game, give away a senseless penalty on 77 mins, hits the post bounces out to an all-black who then incredibly knocks it on in front of the posts

ford drop goal attempt 30 seconds in the Red...it's wide

FT England 22 New Zealand 24

i fancy Ireland to beat New Zealand next week

[Golden Bear]

Jeeeeesus - we've got the same stadium announcer at Murrayfield as last season.

😱

[cabbageandribs1875]

i know i've mentioned it before, butttt

THAT screeching woman ffs retire her

[cabbageandribs1875]

awk away yi go TMO fgs man

he was never EVER getting a tackle in




he will be desperately looking for something wrong with this try :)

[Jones28]

Great finish for the try.

[Jones28]

And another, Darcy Graham.

Fiji got a second yellow card.

[cabbageandribs1875]

that was a strange one

if only England didn't blow my double, huddies

i took scotland at -20

maybe should have tried for -30

[Jones28]

Another try! Huw Jones. Fiji have been terrible.

[cabbageandribs1875]

had to happen with giving away just too many penalties

[cabbageandribs1875]

now we're getting a taste of what we will face next sunday

It starts by removing Ali Price from 9...he's just a bit sluggish and nowhere near dynamic enough at 9. And his box-kicks are often poor.

Tom Jordon looked excellent today when he came on. Hastings ran the show at 10, and I thought Sione had a great outing for his first as captain.

But take a bow, the Prince of Hawick. Oustanding performance from Darcy. Unstoppable combination of pace and power when he plays like that.

Price’s box kicks have been awful for years, even when he was entrenched as our starting scrum half. The only international 9 who regularly had box kicks charged down and struggled to get everyone of them away

[cabbageandribs1875]

Aussies look to win it with a converted try on 75 mins to lead 35-30 but then concede a converted try so England lead 37-35


oh boy Aussie try on 83 mins converted FT 42-37 Aussies


Italy v Argentina next



i'm hoping we don't get hammered tomorrow

[cabbageandribs1875]

Italy 18 Argentina 50

expect much the same scoreline in the upcoming France v Japan


FT France 52 Japan 12

[cabbageandribs1875]

wow FT Wales 19 Fiji 24

Wales equal their worst run ever with a tenth straight defeat

i've disliked him for some reason from the very first time i saw him, i'm not sure what it is
