Tiger
England - a back line with potential served by a pack with little,and a flawed out half who can lose the plot .

Great performance off the bench from Tom O’Toole.

How many scrums?

How many yesterday?

[big mervyn]

No Grand Slam for the Jocks.

Gilchrist looked as if he was going to start blubbing there.

[Dave]

Well that's going to spoil the game.

Perfect argument for a red card that is less than the full thing. 20 mins?

[solidarity]

A second red card evens things up!
Great call from the touch judges!

[Dave]

Frogs maybe levelling up here.

Why do we never get touch judges like that at Ravenhill?

[solidarity]

Don't know why the Scots took Watson off. Great player.

The fat frog's was worthy of the full 80

Finn Russell disasterclass

It's rare when Scotland go 80 mins without Russell and/or Hogg doing something really stupid.

True.
and he's got plenty of form.

Interesting to see how they go together as a pair. Presume they’ve done some training together. Ringrose has been superb at 13. Defensively I wonder whether Italy will target Aki try to pull him out of the line, maybe buy a card off him. My question mark will be Akis distribution bringing the back 3 into play, that said with a bit more space he could open things up more than Ringrose, who tends to hog it (or should that be Stuart “hogg” it?)
Either way I expect a reasonable Ireland win. Not bad to get everyone fully fit/ready for Scotland as that could be a really dangerous game for Ireland. Hopefully France turn up with their 6/2 split and beat the brad pitt out the them.

Not great.

Hopefully Stu won't suffer by association. He made 14 tackles joint highest. Aki missed 5, dropped a try, threw an intercept and gave away a daft pen at the death.

Yeah but he's a great personality to have around the camp and a top shagger.
