This all got a bit breathless. I think the Scots are going to be benchfucked.

I think were going to be Clancy hosed. The welsh scrum are getting away with murder.

I was right. Three scrums before the welsh try should have been penalties not called. loving ng bollocks.

The commentators have been playing up the drama side of every match to make up for the lack of enthralling rugby. Ireland - France could be mostly blamed on the conditions but these first two rounds of games haven't delivered on quality yet.

Hey now, Scotland won the last ever 5 Nations in 1999, making them, objectively, the best team to ever play that competition.

There were sparks of something there today, but mostly when players acted like they normally don't. Laidlaw picking and going, for example.

Nah, our games are usually more entertaining, regardless of the quality. Besides the Tahs beat the brumbies in Wagga, so I'm smug as gently caress.

So Scotland were slightly worse than England then slightly worse than Wales. Eagerly looking forward to being slightly worse than Italy in two weeks.

Against a Wales side that seem to have forgotten or can't be hosed to play rugby for 80 mins.

I wish someone would play attacking rugby in the 6 Nations. Honestly I don't mind Ireland not winning it if they just threw themselves into things and said no more box kicks and had a fullback Payne running things back instead of engaging in lovely kick tennis.

Have some balls, throw the miss pass, go for silly off loads, take quick penalties, try to score tries at all instead of grinding results out because it doesn't loving work when it matters.

They always do a really good job of being 95% as good as their opponents

Sadly everyone looks at Scotland playing attacking rugby and still getting hosed so say "Nope, lovely grinding it is.".

Hahaha... The Italian forwards don't engage at the line out so the English forwards get confused and just go ahead with forming up a maul anyway.
