Not really clear tbh. Shoulder appears to go past/over the top of his head.

Just enough contact to cause some serious damage to his combover.

Congratulations Wales

Scotland v Wales still on for now: @bencoles_ Just heard from WRU that as far as they're aware, Wales-Scotland is still on. @BethFisherSport I have just spoke to the Six Nations and as far as they are concerned the match is still ON. France v Ireland is off: @bencoles_ French sports minister Roxana ...

Apologies, a wee bit pissed last night....

We all wan't to know more about you slugging someone

Steamin Beamin

I enjoyed that. I can't get used to us having a decent defence.

Steamin Beamin

France lucky it’s now half time, they were imploding here. Good chance to regroup and get their shit together It would need to be some team talk from Galtihe and Edwards to turn this one around. Scotland look confident and actually possess a cutting edge in attack for once. It would take a monument...

It's wonderful stuff.

Steamin Beamin

I love how much Jamie Richie upsets people. It's delightful.

Steamin Beamin

Don't worry France, if any team can fudge up a man advantage it's Scotland.

Steamin Beamin

I only saw a little bit of the article, but I think he told Haining he needed to work harder with and without the ball and Haining went back to Edinburgh and did exactly that. Still think he should have given him Italy to show he'd worked on it and Bradbury isn't exactly Mr consistent.

My son was flying from Cardiff to Edinburgh tomorrow for the Scotland U20s that various mates are playing in, a 21st birthday on Sat then the France match, back to Wales on Monday. After looking at every conceivable option he has had to drive. An 800 mile round trip driving to watch not one but two...

Chuffed for Weir if he gets in the squad.

Planning on kicking France in to submission?

@ScotRugbyBlog
Rory Hutchinson playing for Northampton Saints tomorrow suggests he's not going to be in the Scotland 23... No Duncy Weir for Worcester though...

Some speculation this means he's going for a 6/2 bench split.

Fly Be going bust the week before we play in Wales is a fucker, they are the only direct flight from Scotland to Cardiff. I know a lot of boys back home are scrambling to rearrange travel plans this morning. Wonder what the odds are on the game being cancelled? I have yet to book a connecting train...

Probably nothing in it, hasn't stopped people overreacting on social media though. https://www.theoffsideline.com/scotland-v-france-finn-russell-conference-call/ I read that this was down to an organisational failure on the part of SRU officials. Apparently it was rearranged and happened last night...

Interesting........

No pod...sure...but our sources continue to beaver away Eyes

Hearing:

Nick Haining will be returned to the starting XV at the weekend

Gilchrist also set to start

Steamin Beamin

If anyone has any enthusiasm left we need to start a match thread and I don't know how to do it. Is it the breaks, the average rugby, the circus around us at the moment, the threat of matches getting cancelled or something else, but I'm not loving this 6N at all. I know I’ve been accused of being o...

Weather forecast looking terrible , though not Calcutta cup terrible- don't think that favours either team but does give Townsend an excuse to play stodge right through the centres. Going to say it'll be less than 5 either way, really not sure who to put money on for this one. . . The forecast isn'...

Steamin Beamin

Russell will return!! But not in the 6N. Him and Townsend have made up but he won't return until the summer against South Africa. He's expected to have input in the prep for France.

I'm not sure if it's relevant anymore, but Cameron Redpath has left Sale to join Bath. He was only in the second year of a 5 year contract. https://www.salesharks.com/2020/02/24/cameron-redpath-to-leave-sale-sharks/ Shame.

Dan Biggar is a disgrace. Diving, whinging arsehole.

Steamin Beamin

3 tries while playing beyond shite and we've only conceded 2 in 3 games. I'll take that. Very, very ugly though.

Still think Townsend should be binned.

Where do players from the Borders fit into all this? Are they the exception to the private school rule? The days of Melrose, Hawick, Gala etc bestriding the rugby scene are long gone and the Borders is the smallest source of pro players by quite a lot. Though to be fair, most that do come through a...

If you mean Parisse, he's not in the team

I thought he was being wheeled out for a couple of games.

Bit harsh on Haining. I thought he'd done enough to at least keep a place on the bench.

I can barely muster any enthusiasm for this one.

Steamin Beamin

In accepting the above proposition, you don't need to stop "aspiring" as a supporter for better results -- that's kind of the point and joy of supporting the team. However, when the team doesn't meet those aspirations, it seems many supporters become completely disenchanted, upset, angry or incredu...
