Not heard of GrandSlammers before. Netflix?

No, was ITV. ITV-X for replays. Thought it was bloody excellent in so many ways. Second one had me blubbing.

"A few years ago the All Blacks were pretty dominant. They were probably a little bit ahead of other countries in the way they approached the game, but now you see everyone has caught up."

Cracking team talk.

Another seal clubbing game in France this eve.

Glad I went to cinema to watch the Greg Lemond film (film V recommended unlike the utterly one sided game of rugby).

The All Blacks seemed to bring Dr Who on as their goal kicker in the second half.

Are we sure that wasn’t Matt Smith?

Just when you think commentaries can't get worse the eejit on the Samoa Japan game chuntering on about not knowing why it's called swimming up the ruck.
Well you're the commentator maybe you should be telling us. Go away and learn something about the game.

The TV commentary is pretty awful especially with not understanding the head contact protocol leading to them saying decisions are odd - when they are not if you understand the protocols..  this then feeds into fans complaining about inconsistencies because thats what the commentators say.  Its really annoying me.  also when they continue to talk when the ref is speaking to players

I wish we could get commentary free feeds.  I watched a  couple of games on commentary less feeds a while back.  so much better

Wales games are on S4c, bliss, have no idea what they are saying and really don't care. I just imagine it's Jiffy shouting "numbers" everyone in a while

Thankfully Wales always have a number of top class penalty kickers.

What will be considered a good result for Scotland tonight?

50 plus points and no cards or injuries.   100 pt win makes it easier to get thru as we would have an excellent points differnce but unlikely

Bonus point win is essential

I love rugby. Romania player clearly infringes at the maul. Yellow card. Shakes hand of ref and raises apologetic hand to opposition. Whatever the outcome manners are nice to see.

Sebastian deserves his chance.  He has worked really hard for it.  He was only half fit when playing for the Scarlets.  Nice interview recently with him.

Another player to resurrect his career in Scotland.

Neither qualified.  Chile and Uruguay did instead

Not a poach when Wales did not want him for either club or country. His career looked over before he moved North

Was he not out of contract or not offered another?  Its not our fault folk like to play for decent teams

Don't think so, although no Welsh based players were getting contracts for a long time (hence the potential six nations strike) and after he was being picked in the Scotland squad he would have become less valuable.

Thats it.  He was not offered a contract in Wales so had to get one outside of wales

I seem to remember you slating him anyway

I had to switch off, the commentators acting like the team putting 70 on some minnows are great is really annoying. Luckily Wales never do this so that's all good 😀😀
