Yawn.

Aw c'mon, it's just a little teasing. All meant in good nature.

Just switched on and misread the score...I’d assumed that Scotland were 24 points up, not Italy! Massive 20 minutes for Italy now..

It’s great for the competition that Italy are challenging. O’Shea must take a lot of credit.

Suspect you could turn coal to diamonds between TJ's clenched cheeks right now!

Aaargghhhh!

I don't usually want any game decided on an individual error.... but I'm praying he screws this up

Dumb, dumb, dumb play by the Italians. They have just thrown the game away.

Well done Scotland to come back at the end there. Not quite sure how that Scotland team has won 3 out of 5. But fair dues, they’ve done well, apart from being destroyed by Wales and Ireland.

Phew.

CFH it was worse than that.

I feel sorry for Italy - that performance would have won many games and they deserve a win this 6N

For scotland - a throw of the toonbola too many.  Grigg and Jones did not work in the centre ( both 13s).  It all looked much better when Horne came on even tho we lost Russell.  Swinson - why on earth did he start instead of Big Ritchie?  Does he have incriminating pictures of Toonie?

Townsend is clearly still learning his trade ( he has made quite a few selection experiments / errors and this Scotland team is still developing but one difference over a year or two ago is they do grind out tough wins.

Just need Ireland to do us a favour now

As usual on here:

Good Scotland performance = shit opposition.

Bad Scottish performance = true reflection of Scottish game.

Italy played pretty well.  This is the what happens when they don't give away stupid tries in the first 10 minutes.

If I’m reading the table correctly- if Ireland win and Wales draw with France, Scotland come second with -27 pd

DD - how have they won 3?  By scoring tries - lots of them.  High risk high reward game paid off against England Italy  and France.  It backfired against Wales and Ireland just smothered us

Its been a topsy turvy 6N tho - as I predicted 😉

Come on England!

At least we don’t get the bloody ‘two anthems’ nonsense at Twickers.

Just think, if Ireland play New Zealand in Dublin you get three songs and a ****ing dance before the game!

The return fixture will be in Dublin next year and you can have a whinge for the third year in a row.

And penalties are appearing already after 11 minutes. Followed by a stupid free kick...Jesus.

Not sure why I’m wasting my time watching England this afternoon.

My favourite tmo again.

last pass was marginally forward. Tmo only sees one angle of the pass he is asked to look at - from behind ffs!

Ireland clearly on top, but this guy is rubbish!

Itoge is having a pig of a game. Thank god Farrell is trying to take it by the scruff. Still pretty dull from England, I can only see an Irish win here.

Not sure you understand the rules, hands clearly went backwards

another rules numpty question here (sorry, on delay currently so a bit behind too)

Just before England scored there was another penalty advantage, for what looked like another maul going down. England went on and scored, so the advantage was made good, but the player escapes sanction for deliberate foul play.  Could the ref allow the try AND give a yellow card?

What about if it was a serious infringement, as opposed to a technical-professional one?
