I keep thinking I don't know how we're going to win - but then I realize 3 of our provinces are amongst the top teams in Europe.
Glasgow are decent but can't compete on two fronts and Edingburgh are just rubbish.
Theres no reason why we should lose.

Hahahaha fantastic!!

Edit: Love the Scottish anthem

Was about to say - cold all over my body.

Murray you eejit.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Allez le Scots!
Forza Scotlandia!
etc.

 

[big ginger 8]

Great work by Ryan.

3 carries by SO'B already.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Great run by Marshall!
Surprised Earls didn't get the offload to BOD, really looked like it was on.


Great work at the lineout by Scotland then!
Actually, on replay, that was just an absolutely gash lineout by Ryan. He'd barely started his jump by the time Hamilton had stolen it.


Another break by Marshall!

 

[BRSTLDRGN]

Marshall has made more breaks today than D'Arcy made in the last 18 months

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Marshall another break, I can't wait to see what he's like in a few years!

 

[smb64]

This match is looking tasty so far.

 

[big ginger 8]

Great defensive lineout work by both sides.

Glad Marshall is showing his potential.

 

[Tony Manx]

He may look like a bairn but two great breaks........bye bye D'arcy!!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Really wasn't expecting Scotland's scrum to be on top! Thought it'd be even at best, with Ireland edging it.

 

[big ginger 8]

Cross a huge improvement on Murray.

Good decision by Murray there.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

BS call for that card.

 

[smb64]

Far too early for a card - not even a warning first :mellow:

 

[big ginger 8]

Probably a bit early but Scotland have given away plent and there's being a number of advantages.

George Hook: Barnes is nobody's greatest friend.

After the way he has reffed today....guess their opinions have now changed? Just goes to show, the decisions even themselves out over time as that was no yellow and there have been other "50:50" calls gone to Ireland too!!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I don't like how quickly they blow for the choke tackle/maul collapses.
Scotland could've used that ball given a couple more seconds, but Barnes gives it to Ireland instead.
