[Natwest 6 Nations] Round 3 : Scotland Vs England 24/02/2018 16:45

No complaints about the ref. England were not at the races today. Scotland played like the scotland of old. Brilliant at the breakdown total chaos in other areas. We were given a lesson today.

Scotland could still win this
 
No one likes a wise ass you know.
I bring you gold because I'm a wise man.
Now on the Floor I've calculated for the joke to be accurate it would have to be 8 World Cups and well of the 8 we actually only flopped in 2007 and 2015
 
Fair play Scotland. No 2 ways about it better team won.

However this has been coming for England for about a year. Never want England to lose but we've had issue and Eddie was never changing his mind now he'll have to.
 
Considering Sexton couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo from the tee that's probably fair
1 unconverted try next game and then one in the final weekend.
We don't need a kicker. Although Murray can do that stuff. Johnny will have his back sorted by a butcher Tuesday anyway

Best thing about being a ireland fan at a World Cup is you can book the flight home after the quarter final early and get a discount.

Come on Tigs we are smart. We book return flights so we don't even need a discount. We are good planners
 
Apart from the early tackle, that was called an English knock on. Most the penaltys were called correctly in my eyes. If anything i thought Owen's was pretty generous on Englands offside line.
 
"Eddie Jones is a world class coach and did a lot of good things today."

A reasonable performance by Scotland and their reserve players all put in a good shift (even Horne despite a tragic 60 second spell he had). Laidlaw seems to have evolved and sped up his decision making and delivery so I have to give him a mention as I'm always ragging on him.

Losing Seymour is a big blow and Hogg hasn't really come close to top gear yet. Scotland also botched a golden opportunity for a BP that is probably essential for them to have a chance of winning the tournament. They'll have to find another gear or two to win in Dublin I think. At least Townsend has remedied his horrific tactical errors in Cardiff.

England seem preoccupied in selecting top athletes with okay rugby ability rather than very good athletes with great rugby skills. Eddie Jones would be well advised to look at some of the players he took to the tour of Argentina last year in my opinion. The failure to secure a losing BP here or a winning BP last week probably means they are relying on other results if they are to retain their ***le.
 
True but he is the best ref in the world really.

Feels bad that we could never have him in charge of us.
If only other countries could produce top refs like us.

New to the forum, are you guys being serious or sarcastic? (about Barnes and Nz being reffed properly).
