Sloth, no? Half the bloody cinema kicked off for that one.

Whatever about BPs skewing the final table, I have never understood how the number of wins has been made completely irrelevant. Had Scotland and Italy finished on equal points it's decided by points difference, then tries scored, then nothing at all. Italy could have won all three of their games to...

I'd say Murray's done now. That has to be it. Was being polite. Argument's about Casey and any prospective SH we have hopes for. Need to blood them, simple as. Some won't work out and will lose us games. Also should be said that JGP is probably a top 3-5 scrum half in the world currently and Casey ...

Casey's flawed and may never live up to JGP's shadow. But it's worth the trying. Sure as feck won't learn any other way and Murray....has probably peaked. I'd say Murray's done now.

:? We were playing for a championship. You play your first choice team in that game every time. That makes no sense at all. We should have moved on from that limited mindset. So it's better to play a slightly better player who is knackered than one who is rested and can give 100%? If we rotated mor...

Oh so it was there?

Yikes. Amateur hour for sure.

Presumably thought a director of rugby role/remit only happened to other unions.

Can't recall, have they ever have a Rassie style character in house?

Gatland first took the Wales job 17 years ago. He does have the flexibility of a few championships to his name, which probably earns him a bit more benefit-of-the-doubt than Toonie. I don't know that it was ever his role, but you have to ask what he did to improve the youth structures, etc. Sure it...

What sort of press coverage has the last few weeks got back in Italy Has it helped raise the profile of the team and the sport? It has boomed: front page in every newspaper, 3 minutes in every tv news. YouTubers and Instagram pages with loads of new followers. There is a tag rugby tournament in Tre...

Pissed and only half aware but that looked a lot of fun. How to finish and upstage the previous game!

Well played both

lemonhead

We'll probably drop the trophy on the podium but will take this all year long.

Goodnight.

Porter would really want that cut sorted, it's been bleeding for two months now.

lemonhead

About goddamn time.

lemonhead

Carley, can you let us play on FFS?

lemonhead

And why did Baird run back into traffic?

Amongst other things, anyone trying to score provincial points can get fecked. The whole team's off tonight.

lemonhead

Munster levels of old school there.

Give it early or have some real forwards carrying close in.

lemonhead

Basic error from Scotland there. Almost as shite as we are

Tbf, if the Scots regathered and set off on a gallop he probably would've blown up.

As it was they had to exit and give us the lineout in exactly the same position. But yeah, some level of clairvoyance on show.

How the fudge is that lost forward? The ball didn't go forward at any stage I think that's the problem with submitting a plea in the first place. Too much objection/sustained with a baying crowd and TV producer tapping their foot to get on with it. Should be ref asks to see, TMO says nowt and shows...

lemonhead

Whatever. We'll get another one soon playing like this.

lemonhead

I mean, being pedantic that wasn't a knock on.

lemonhead

Yeah, we bombed that but at least playing like we care.

More.

Yep. Don't care who's subbed or what he says, we're better than this.

This has the feel of the 2010 Croke Park game The result maybe, but not how it played out. We were one pass away from several tries that day and really smacked them around early doors but got messier and more frustrated and Scotland were clinical on limited chances. Both sides blowing everything th...

Can you rattle off a top five?

It's all a bit low rent. We're stuttering and Scotland seem to be playing for a hot meal.

We have lived every minute of this 48 so far. Fitting end to the half.

Might even venture off the couch for another beer.

Pants. Dare I say only a Scottish try would make things exciting.

But they seem to be experimenting with a new pass behind the man tactic rather than in front.

lemonhead

L'armour looking on best behaviour at least. Hopefully we get him an opportunity or two.

Usual suspects already out in force

Things will change at half time, coaching ticket will rip them a new one.

Not too much to ask for a score by then. There for the taking if we get a move on.

We're not good. Laboured and easy to contain, something needs to change.

Ah Jack, you're not Finn. Dufus.

All feels a bit static. Lads standing to take the pass and deciding what to do Lack of atmosphere in stadium not helping either. All very flat, can you imagine playing for a 6N title a few years ago and the stadium being so quiet Stadium's always going to be a bit ripple these days. On the team to ...
