You expect France to fail to to turn up like that, not Ireland

Ireland weren't that good in the Scotland game and were let off by Hogg's dreadful mistake and a lack of ideas in the final 22 from Scotland. I'd have thought they'd have raised their game by now.

The funniest thing I've seen for ages was Owen Farrell clinging around an Irish ankle as the opposition player walked off, wearing him like a huge tag, and attempting to punch his lights out.

I thought Farrell had grown out of that nonsense. He was a very bad-tempered little oik early on in his career.

Both the Italy-Ireland matches have been postponed. Presumably that will give IRE a bit more rest before the biggie against France?

By the time that comes round the Coronavirus situation is likely to have escalated further.

I think the remaining matches will be played by Skype.

Good point. But it will only be a problem if people can easily move between France and Italy.

Toss of a coin ultimately, I think

Better not let Hogg do it, then - he'll only drop it.

Scotland - France women's match is off after one of the Scotland team tested positive.

A good thing the Boy Farrell had his kicking trousers on today, because seeing out the last ten minutes with thirteen men on the park was not part of the script.

Peter · « **Reply #88 on:** 07 March, 2020, 07:47:33 pm »

Touch of "forward" about that final pass?

Steph · « **Reply #89 on:** 08 March, 2020, 03:48:13 pm »

Oh dear....stupid French prop!

See red, and you end up seeing Red.

Steph · « **Reply #90 on:** 08 March, 2020, 03:49:47 pm »

If this goes to standard form for the French, there will be another one soon

Jaded · « **Reply #91 on:** 08 March, 2020, 03:50:17 pm »

Lots of camera angles make a huge difference.

Oh, very Much YESSS!

What a lovely pass while looking the other way.

Why can't Scotland play lik ethat normally?

Do they have a tough final game?

ps well played Scotland, and thanks.

I wonder what's happening with the postponed England v Italy game. I suppose the final result will have to wait.
