Italy were awful! Nicol et all raving about how good the Scots have been....yes they were good, but they had less than a third of the possession, hardly any territory and scored two tries from their own half....their forwards looked second best too. Italy really gave them that one!

Don't agree about the forwards, no way were the scots second best.

Cracking result from scotland. Visser is good in space.

Italy needed to gain field position before they started playing they were wales like in their stupidity in running from their own half. So many questions still unanswered. How good were england last week, how good are ireland Wales gifted them everything. How much was wales second half down to good wales play or ireland lifting off

Possession counts for nothing if you are on the back foot. Scotland dominated possession v nz and S.A. in autumn but lost both. I am quite happy to have less possession if we make good use of the ball which we did have.

The scottish forwards were certainly not 2nd best set pieces were fairly even but in the loose Scotland's pack were far better.

Good to see there are still tries being scored, more of the same for France v Wales please

A few scrums were turned over, Italy's try came from a scrum.....in the loose it was more even but Scotlands pack looks really tame to me.

The set pieces were more even, the loose is where the Scottish forwards were better.

ANY sporting event on the beeb we normally have to live with the shite that is the home counties commentary team,one Andy Nichol does not parity make.Complaining about a Scottish commentary is almost as good as Zokes(or was it you?) explaining why we should understand that us minor nations should accept updates from the England [s]stag party[/s] sorry,training camp in the last World Cup during our games. 🙄

POSTED 13 MINUTES AGO # REPORT-POST


We won today because we did what good Scotland teams of the past did,we scrapped,we concentrated on making sure any ball our opponents got was crap. We have never,in the 35 years I have watched Scotland had a dominant scrum.I remember Will Carling saying exactly exactly the same after our Colonial Masters didn't win in 1990. Rugby still has room for dog,thats what we did today.

I was sat right in front of the chip and chase involving Gray, he caught the guy and threw him into touch with one hand 😀 Wife has told me "to make it home tonight." last train is at 11pm 😈 sláinte mhaith singletrack

Drinking duckman?
I don't know or care what Home Counties shite you have to put up with, it doesn't change the fact that nicol is a nause and I shall complain all I like thanks.
Beating a very badly misfiring Italian team isn't exactly worthy of party time, but good luck with the wife.

Nicol's great.
No Keith Wood, but much more insight than Moore, Guscott or Numbers

I don't know or care what you Home Counties shite you have to put up with,

Only just started drinking actually.I was going to ask why a Scotland Italy game shouldn't have a Scotsman providing additional commentary,and how even a member of the Master Race could find something to complain about in that...but thought I would be better just drawing your attention to the following two words and a bible quote...Brian Moore.

Matthew 3.7

Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

Chin up Wrecker,not nervous about tomorrow are you? :mrgreen: Hell,that's even a green smiley! We are awful at rugby,and knowing very well how things are going up here,going to get worse;brief moments of hope are followed by crushing reality.The one advantage that has over your lot is that it is never a surprise.

PS; I played beside Andy at Dundee High FP, a cracking lad,but yes he isn't great..but youtube Jim Hay (the alternative)

I hope your edit concerning my wife isn't a pathetic dig?

Missed the first match but amused by the AN comments. Glass half full or empty - two full glasses for the boys in blue.

Raced back to watch F v S. Poor so far but three numbers on 22:29

I am a bit actually.
I wasn't having a dig at scots. I was having a dig at nicol. He's an individual, I don't cast huge aspersions on a whole nation because of a single commentator (unlike some...). What makes you think I'm a fan of Moore?

I was also genuinely wishing you luck with the wife. Six nations can be a difficult time....... 😀

Michalack having another shocker here! He kicks more possession than Farrell with none of the precision!

Awful game so far.....Wales look slightly more likely to score for me....but not that likely! France will never score if Michalack keeps kicking the ball straight to Wales every 2 minutes. Wales to edge the second half imo.

The pitch does indeed look like it was laid yesterday. I just hope that a scrum doesnt end in tears due to the pitch giving way.
