The disallowed tries for arbitrary reasons? Yes, I have seen this and I’m against it, but apparently some other people cannot get enough. I think it's just symptomatic of the mess the laws are in with particular areas of the game and the inconsistent application (or appearance thereof) of them. Huh...

I think the dark horse narrative is bad for Scotland. They go into every tournament with a ready made excuse.

Who was a better 10 over 5 games?
Ford?
Messy?
Garbisi, I'd love to see him play in this Irish team.

Costelow is the worst half back I've ever seen play in the 6N, including Bergamasco at 9.

Russell? Fairly consistent in a pretty gash Scottish 15

The decision that annoyed me most was the early turnover by France with the player clearly off his feet when England were in a promising position.

Time to get rid of some of the old guard. Slade and Daly don't fit into this side Not a fan of his at all, but Slade did a number of good things. He doesn't have the pace for this defensive system. When there's a line break in behind he gets burned. 13 needs to have serious wheels in this system im...

Honestly for his own wellbeing he should have retired 5 years ago.

Been a long slow decline with only flashes of his early form

Thought this thread was about Karl Wallinger dying. My first worry was Mike Scott kicking the bucket Too many people on the pitch a lot now. The one that irks me most is when a try is scored and the subs rush in. A law should be made that of they are within 20m of a try being scored by their team i...

12 more months and we’ll be right up Irelands ass in terms of outright quality and we’ll be pulling away from that French side lol France are a totally different beast with Ntamack and especially Dupont. Yep, both England and France have a lot of space to improve. France need a better front 5 IMO. ...

Next year will be your best bet as most of our players will have their eyes on the Lions tour. Irish arrogance still in effect despite last weekend Insee In fairness you did beat us and you can put that one in your trophy cabinet. We will just take finishing above the dark blue failures as progress

Sneaky feeling we might go past both of them within a year at the rate of our improvement.

No issues with the result, but a really strange performance from the ref team there. Fudge all consistency for either side and got in the way of the contest

blindcider

When will management realise that making subs is often counterproductive unless absolutely necessary?

blindcider

Too many subs made when we were in the ascendancy.

blindcider

Lovely score.

There should be a law about subs f**king off out of the way though and try disallowed if they are within 20m. They are a blight on the game at the moment

Excellent from Earl

Much better England

Refs should call ball out as soon as the ball is not actually under that extended leg which happens most of the time as the scrum half rolls the ball back. It's been bad from both teams this game, like really piss take bad. You think forwards are done joining the ruck and then another two do for th...

Agreed. Comfortable win. No complaints. We deserve the spoon. The whitewash. And the humiliation. Absolute shambles from top to bottom and those hoping for it to get better quickly, are going to be sadly disappointed. This is 1981 all over again. Losing becomes a bad habit.

Referees don't ask tackled players to release. They blow for holding on. Referees do ask jackallers to release. Sometimes they then ignore that. The Welsh lad carried the ball into contact you clown. It was an Italian turnover. Imagine thinking referees call for tackled players to release. :lol: Th...

It could only be the Italian as the Welsh player momentarily gathered the ball. Correct decision

England pull off a last minute win: "Results are all that matter" Italy lose close matches: "Yeah, but they deserve credit" You can't have it both ways. :lol: I'm not sure what argument you are trying to make.

This will be their third 6N win in a decade. Let's hold off on the praise until they've actually put a string of results together... There was too much made of the losing streak IMO. They were improving all the time just at that time so was everyone else. Now the other teams bar Ireland have lost s...

When did Wooden Spoon become the award for finishing last rather than losing all your games in a whitewash?

But maybe its always been that way and I misremember

blindcider

Unless I'm mistaken (not impossible), then it's still mathematically possible for England to finish 5th. If Italy hose Wales, and England take a pasting from France (and get nothing from the game), then Italy leapfrog them irrespective. That would just leave Scotland needing to get 1 bonus point fr...

It's obviously racist, anyone claiming otherwise is an imbecile. Of course you can be racist against white people. Jesus Christ people are thick.
