Italy have done well to stay in it. Scots have been very good in patches. Fun game. Looking forward to the next 40 :thumbup: Scotland are shite. Italy at home should 100% expect to win this. That’s a bit rich - Scotland showed many times excellence during those first 40 mins Thread Irished.

Everyone in Scotland knows exactly how you feel.

Just hope we don’t have our usual snooze in the second half. Got to keep piling it on.

Really like the speed that Horne is putting on the game. Comes with a health warning though and we’re trying to play a little too much.

I have said before on here recently i feel like i'm a bit 'at the end of the road' with england rugby- borth is safe to the next rwc. There's no sane argument for Daly over Radwan for example unless you flat out don't like rugby. I like watching ireland or scotland play, but i'm just not getting en...

Either emphasis is fine as long as you have the personnel for it.

Sport is part of the entertainment business.

Revealed: England’s attack ignored in training with a back touching ball just once in session Headline in graph. Haven’t read it, but I can believe it. Youngs, who also played under Borthwick at Leicester, added that attack is not “high on his [Borthwick’s] agenda” and that the performance against ...

This definitely has a banana skin feel, but I’m doing my best to feel confident.

Not sure if they’re more talented but given the different eras, cars and contexts, seems more than touch daft to state unequivocally that Max is the ‘most talented’ of all time. Like proper excitable poster on the wall shite. Or trolling. Let’s all listen to Johnny come lately. :lol: Fair point. Bu...

I thought this was a thread about Toga's whereabouts.

Point of order re. Sam Overthehill, if you’re born overseas to a serving member of our country’s armed forces, you’re almost certainly de facto born in the UK. ‘British Forces Overseas’ is the correct term, I think. His old man Greg (my old man’s former boss) was a serving RAF Officer, on (a relati...

I don't think anyone is stupid enough to suggest in good faith that a guy who was born abroad but ha lived here all his life, particularly someone whose parents were working abroad, should not be able to play for the country he grew up in. But there should be much stricter rules. A guy who never se...

I wonder if Oliver Brown wrote it after a nice lunch with his RFU chums in the Obolensky Suite at HQ.

its no real surprise that irish and scottish fans,whose teams have benefited from rather loose eligibility laws see no issue. Make every pro player nominate their desired international team at say 20(provided they eligble obviously)-one simple rule to end all the nonsense.no changes after. internat...

England’s history of this is as filthy as anyone’s. It’s just click bait bullshit and lazy ‘journalism’.

Punter15

Appointing him at the time was good, reappointing him horrific. Absolutely. You could argue that England might have done better to throw the bank at Farrell or Edwards, but Jones was one appointment where you can actually say he was probably the most qualified coach available. I don't personally ra...

I honestly don't know why anyone listens to these blokes. It's just a constant stream of desperate contrarianism and faux outrage, while talking themselves up like they aren't the 9th biggest rugby podcast in the UK. It's more of a shame, because they were once a shining light of actual analysis in...

Tell that to the jocks who couldn't win a game for 20 years. "You just didn't want it enough, bawbags" Beating England mattered to the Scots because no matter how hard they tried they rarely won. Scottish teams were always fired up as they tried to break that record, they were just not good enough....

I thought Cole played well. He caught Kinghorn and the 14 in open play, not bad for a pensioner. Cole had his best game in an age. You're getting a bit carried away with the commentators praising him for a couple of kick chases. He touched the ball three times and made 5 tackles. Contrast that with...

Would love to know what the players are thinking, particularly the more senior ones. I imagine some are there because they have bought into the culture and have a mix of delusion and self interest. For the younger guys it must be very frustrating and confusing. Cannot be a good environment.

You are being overly kind, but thank you. X

Borthwick’s excuse is that they ‘were playing against a team that knew what it was trying to do.’

No shit Steve.

Never expected England to win, but if only we could put a good performance together There were better signs... Not so bad all in all. Yes there’s a lot to like. But we forced so much. Playing behind the line for the sake of it. Too much enthusiasm. There’s definitely players he’s having to pick who...

As Toga isn’t here, don’t feel the need to fill the void.

I think we need to try F Smith, Ford is making too many mistakes. Its so frustrating, england have all the power but just cannot get a sequence of play going without making silly errors. I think we need to slow it down and play more percentage passes (assuming they can pass). Ford isn't playing wel...

Correct. Lots of stick for England but it’s not as if we’ve done much to admire either.

Punter15

If we’re unable to compose ourselves a little, then just get Horne on and play twice as fast instead.

What the fück is this shit? They are supposed to kick the ball back and let us run around with it, not pass it down the line and recycle.

Awesome anthem, third best in the tournament and therefore the world.

Ps. Da isn’t a racist and has clearly had enough of the joke so we move on.
