Congratulations to Scotland on a much improved display, but I can't agree that "France played superb rugby", K, at least not after the first 20 minutes. Ill discipline - 6 second half penalties all in kickable positions - and far too many handling errors.
Sadly, I think Scotland will be back down to earth with a big bump next time out!

Agree with K ,we are big Wales supporters ,but the Scotland / France match was brilliant. Jo was shouting the roof off the house almost ,it’s hilarious to watch a rugby match with her Next year we are definitely going to try and get to the millennium stadium.👍

Posted on 11/02/2018 05:02 by mickysfJust arrived at San Jose and straight on to wifi to find the results. Best part of a very long and stressful day. Sounds like the lads were mediocre but took their chances. Will read more n the morning. I'll miss next week's games but hopefully the best is saved for the last match.

Posted on 11/02/2018 14:36 by ExtuggerThe TMO said they couldn't conclusively say that the ball was definitely grounded.
The old addage in rugby, where any advantage is given to the attacker, seems to have been drop-kicked into touch?

England weren't the only team this weekend of indiscipline. Both side were guilty of it in today's game. Scotland suffered by loosing much of the ground that they gained in attack whereas France were punished because they committed the "crimes" within Laidlaw's kicking range.
Scotland certainly played better this weekend than last but I think that they'll struggle against England in 2 week's time. Ireland/Wales will be close affair I imagine.

Its an unusual tournament, this 6 Nations series. Every year England is expected to win and good luck to them. The smaller countries compete on a David and Goliath basis against England, (the bookie's choice). That's what makes the tournament so exciting. Therefore when it's the turn of the smaller countries to play each other, the series really comes alive.
The 2008 final will be between a small country and England with England prevailing, but it will be a good and exciting game. Looking forward to it.
