Serious win for the Tigs today, playing away to the French leaders, and apperently at a ground with a moat for some reason

Well done Scotland. My favourite NH team (along with Japan).

The English number 8 handed you that game on a plate. So good.

Nah England were all over us first half. Basically spent the first 20 minutes camped in our 22 but could only put 3 points on the board, then conceded a try immediately the first time we got the ball in a decent area.
Then dominated the 2nd without putting clear daylight between the sides.
For Scotland, I guess it's a positive that we can now win games like that despite being outplayed; but I don't think we can afford to play as badly again if we've got ambitions of challenging for the title.

Yeah England dominated the territory completely. Scotland were just trying to stay in the game, hoping to get some points out of nothing, and that's what they did.
Both sides' attacking play looked unambitious and dated compared to Ireland's earlier in the day, which is a big turnaround from the last WC. We're probably just peaking in the middle of a WC cycle as usual.

I thought our try and the penalty try came from really good attacking play tbf. We just didn't have enough of it.

Yeah in one sense it’s impressive that you created more than England from so many fewer opportunities.
It’s more that Ireland were using some creative combinations I’ve not really seen before, and because I’ve not watched a lot of rugby lately I wasn’t sure whether other teams are using them too. Then England and Scotland weren’t.

i think they interpreted it as not having made an attempt to catch it and just to deliberately break up the play, which seemed fair enough to me

I know Italy been rubbish isn't ideal for the six nations, but booting them out for South Africa is not the answer sadly.
It would be a disaster for them and tbf their younger teams have started to string some nice results together so we got to be patient.
South Africa in the six nations along with them? Meh. Six nations is pretty perfect , not sure if the SA lads would be keen from a workload POV but would obviously make them loads of money .

Va'aiga Tuigamala and Joeli Vidiri have both died about 24 hours apart. Both were incredibly exciting wingers who were great to watch. Sincerest condolences to family and friends.
