Six Nations 2017

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Ah. Good point. Don't know then.

Never.

And unlikely to change today.

Although I did win my bet on Hogg scoring a try. It's not looking like I'll win my other bet that Dundar will score a try as it's looking like France will run away with this in the 2nd half.

Is this half empty or half full?

That's way more than half empty

Quite the wee ray of sunshine aren't we? I don't know. Scotland seem to be holding their own pretty well, courtesy of relentless resolute tackling. You'd still have to back France, but a Scotland steal looks improbable rather than impossible.

And John Rutherford, also in the pic, was on the radio this week saying he was standing down from Selkirk RFC for "younger blood".

Sh*t.

You've got yourJims mixed up, that's Jim Renwick, and Jim Telfer is a lot older than 65.

Oops, so I did.

Pity..that was a great 80mins

Deserved win for France. Definite try not given by the tmo. Also numerous penalties conceded in the 22 and no hint of a yellow card. Peyper is a very weak ref.

 

[swee'pea99]

Closer than I think anyone would have predicted before the game. And it really could have gone either way. All credit to Scotland - the finesse might not be quite up there, but you can never fault them for commitment.

Definite try not given by the tmo

I always understood that the grounding had to involve 'control', in at least some shape or form. There was none. At best, he had a finger on the ball. I was more interested in the follow-up, after the charge-down, which looked likely to have been a valid try to me, but we never saw any review of that.

I have no idea why the twat ref hurried Russell's conversion attempt.
I agreed with the TMO re not giving French try, despite me and him being the only people on the planet to think that.
I have no idea why we bother with scrums anymore, feeding into the 2nd row makes it a joke.

Sh*t.

I always thought that Rutherford was a super classy fly half.

Should'a gone the pub.

Agree about the conversion and the scrums.

 

[HertzvanRental]

Are there any referees out there that can explain why the "straight put-on" law is totally ignored?
