Six Nations 2023

Weird not having an idea of what's about to happen

 

[Rebelda]

Over to itv we go. Ugh.

 

[Elpenor]

Could have driven a bus through that hole in England's defence - looked like Farrell’s space

Huw Jones punishes England again

 

[Ax^]

come on scotland

 

[Rebelda]

It's down

 

[A380]

well...

 

[Elpenor]

Nice!

 

[Ax^]

nice little move

 

[A380]

more like it

 

[Ax^]

fuck me that was some score

 

[Elpenor]

Blimey.

Kind of like a try in a U12 game when the lad who’s already been through puberty gets the ball

 

[Elpenor]

But not just power, steps all over the place as well

 

[Rebelda]

That was magnificent

 

[Elpenor]

Malins is too slow for an international player.

Still stand by this. He’s doing ok so far though

Loving the work of Dombrandt Marchant and Ludlam so far

 

[bendeus]

England defence so very poor. Attack looks promising at least

 

[Elpenor]

Yeah presumably Kevin Sinfield has a lot of work to do. Liked the attack play so far, very Harlequins like

 

[Elpenor]

Both Sir Clive Knobhead and Jonny mispronouncing England player names. Luckily Geech is on hand to be the voice of sanity

 

[starfish]

Interesting game so far.

 

[Rebelda]

Unlucky.

 

[Rebelda]

Biased post alert: England don't deserve a bonus point here. Would love Scotland to get a final try.

 

[Rebelda]

HAHA YES

 

[A380]

My word.

 

[Elpenor]

England go to shit when Youngs comes on

 

[starfish]

You wee beauties.

 

[Ax^]

some game and well done scotland


last time with 3 on the bounce twickenham had not even been built ;D

 

[Rebelda]

Very entertaining.

 

[Spymaster]

Fair play, Scotshire.

 

[Elpenor]

Great game to watch. I’m not expecting England to be that good this year so don’t mind the loss particularly.

An exciting attacking performance at times, but a lot of it lost when Dombrandt and JVP came off. Defence a total horror show

 

[Ax^]

Merwe try will be on a highlight reel for quite few years

 

[sleaterkinney]

maybe so, it's not something I gaf about because I think on the whole it doesn't influence the ref's decision. Maybe the Sexton factor made a difference, but more his reputation* rather than the rolling around. The decision making process was about body position and movement control vs intent. They should have been judged equally imo.

*he'll be playing on a 'is this his last game' advantage for a while now I reckon.

Eta: I guess what I'm saying is, I was talking about the ref not the players.

The sexton one was a shoulder to the head, the difference between a yellow and a red was that sexton was crouched down and Williams was absorbing the tackle.
For the kick he had loads of time to dodge the jumper, he took a bit of contact and went down like he was shot.
