A solid performance by us I thought. I don't think we were 34 points better, but we were certainly good value for the win. Our backs had a bad case of butterfingers in the first half, but the pack looked pretty decent the whole game thru. Wally even hit his jumper most of the time, which is certainly a pleasent change! Worringly for our future development, we looked far more composed when the old warhorses Dawson & Dallaglio came on. I expect Daws to start in Paris.
I thought Italy played well against The Micks, who looked rather ordinary. A rather bum call from the ref not to go to the video for Bowe's "try" was the turning point. If he had gone to the video ref he'd have seen that Bergamasco had clearly prevented the ball being grounded.

I don't know about Dawson so much as his try was a blatant illegality! Ellis looks a solid player.. good passer, hit the breaks, does more than his fair share of tacking forwards.BoyBrumby said:
But yes... Dallaghio was an inspiration.. you could see how up for it.
As for future development... I dont really care.. the WC is one year away and we have to fully concentrate on keep the trophy.

Same old Scotland, get a golden opportunity near the line and bottle it...
Managed to take the easy try this second time tho. I bet simmy is pleased.

Yeah, sorry about that. The French have looked absolutely woeful! Jauzion is a big miss for them, but even so. They haven't been at the races at all. I think you knew they'd run short of ideas about five minutes from the break when Michalak decided to attempt a drop (rather poorly, as it happens).simmy said:
Good to see Hugo Southwell (formerly of Sussex CC) playing so well. The latest in the long line of cricket/Rugby cross pollinations.

Conversion was miles off 20-16 with 2 1/2 minutes to go...

Unusually professional killing of the clock there by Scotland, they usually knock-on in those pressure situations.
If England don't win the Six Nations something would have to go badly wrong.

Fair play to yer Sweaties! That's what the 6 Nations is all about! Great performance & I personally was stunned how they outmuscled France. I thought Scotland's best chance of decent amount of ball was their line-out (Scott Murray being one of the best jumpers around), but it was the one area of their play that was pretty ordinary!
