Rugby union?

Crikey that was about as tight as it could have got for the Wales not try. 1 camera angle did them dirty or they’d have given them that

it was so close!! Right call in the end though. It was a great game. Wales definitely surprised Ireland. They were so well organised compared to their previous games.

What an idiot missing that kick.

3 he missed.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Those 3 missed conversions proved very expensive for Scotland.

 

[Btone]

Sorry for Scotland, but will done England some mighty defensive work there

I wonder how Duhan feels every time he sings the Scottish anthem lol

He’s an absolute unit, brilliant player as well. Sure he loves it. Don’t know why he’s not in the SA team.

 

[gpuerrilla]

He is absolutely England's kryptonite. Very tight game, as it should be.

1 like = 1 prayer for our boy Finn Russell this evening

Easily Scotland's best performance of the Six Nations and probably the better team on the day; gutted to lose by one point; very unlike Russell to miss every kick although so far in this 6 Nations his kicking hasn't been great.
He only missed 1x in the entire 6N last year.

Anyway a loss is a loss but the media already had England destroying Scotland this week, they were proven well wrong

 

[Calpol]

England still = anti rugby.
Better team lost.

 

[PinkFloyd]

Not the most glamorous game of rugby, but a hard fought for result I guess. Scotland should have won it, but like France 2 weeks ago didn't take all their chances.
England once again grind out the result, which I'm happy with. But I think I'll definitely have to rewatch, atleast some extended highlights as i missed a lot, making it hard to really judge.

Meh a lucky and undeserved win for England - same old nonsensical tactic of kicking good ball away and then being unable to win it back.

Still Russell missing that final kick and then whining to the ref at full time was worth seeing.

 

[gpuerrilla]

Yeah England seem to be obsessed with the box kick and seems a poor tactic when you have kinghorn or vdm floating about.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Italy have won the opening sing-off.

 

[Btone]

This is getting ridiculous,

 

[Terminal_Boy]

When France turn up, they are something special.

Fair play to Italy for giving it full beans.

question. can a non native born play for the Lions ?

what i mean there a number of people playing (in Ireland case their great great grand mother once shared a cup of tea with a Irish person) who are now full citizens, can they play for the Lions

Duhan is a different case to a lot of ex SA players. He was developing at junior level but then injuries meant he did not fulfil his promise. Went to France but hip injuries meant he did not find a place for Montpellier. Edinburgh then signed him, and even though he failed the medical they saw his potential and kept him on even though he missed half his first season. It was their belief and development of his raw talent that made him the player he is, and he is paying back the investment in him.

Yup, Gibson-Park, Bundee Aki, Duhan van der Merwe, Mack Hansen, James Lowe, Pierre Schoeman and Sione Tuipulotu will probably selected for tour and 5 propbly be in starting 15.
