Allan Jacobsen Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Deserved fuckall out of it. If it's clear that the ref is going to allow players to enter the scrum at all kinds of angles then the intelligent person would get wise to this and do the same. Being nice gets you fuckall. Special raspberries go to Finn Russell for his brainfart moments and Ali Price (the long term replacement for Laidlaw!!!!) for his petulant shove when there was absolutely no need for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Hard to disagree with Hogg, errors cost us. That was competitive longer than it should have been and we could have got an undeserved win there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leggy Blonde Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 That game was solely won by the French forwards. They were immense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem was though that referee was penalising us when we did do the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Gallant, being the usual term used, 'plucky' being another one. I was being sarcastic and personally thought we beat ourselves 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooky Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 This game aside, this Six Nations is really close. Five teams seem really competitive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddieInDundee Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Nonsense. May not have been great rugby but there was always something going on. Usually something bizarre. Yeah I'd agree, entertaining in a very strange way.You can't expect to win Test matches with a scrum going backwards like that, nor can you expect not to concede a stream of penalties with a scrum folding like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are missing Nel quite badly - I don't think he would have allowed himself to be manoeuvred like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was engrossing but awful. A lot of errors and not much of it was easy on the eye. Night and day compared to the game last week.I think Scotland are fairly fortunate to be getting a losing bonus point. A well needed rest next week and onwards. I fancy us to win in a fortnight's time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Taking positives, always thought we would lose at Twickenham, which we will, however we should beat Italy comfortably and have nothing to fear in Wales so steady progress 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we beat Wales,.we will at least be going to twick for a triple crown. Something to play for I guess 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep spot on, an absolute rock at the scrum. Oh well, onto Wales now where a victory would be delicious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I think we will beat Wales and Italy and lose to England, which I would be fairly pleased with. Today we never looked like winning I didn't think, even when it was 16-16. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Some of the whinging on here is way over the top. We weren't that bad. We got three bad injuries that meant we were going to struggle in the back row during the game and we lost our captain and vice captain. We were missing our first choice props, and we were given an absolute kicking. The ref didn't do us many favours either. We made some mistakes, but we were always in it and always looked like we could score. It's not like we've been beaten by Italy here, we've lost narrowly to France in Paris. These players are getting better and I fancy us to beat Wales and Italy and finish third, which would be an excellent result in this 6n. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Very frustrating and we lost it up front, primarily, and through some sloppiness elsewhere. Still, I think The Welsh are beatable. Oh and Gabby Logan is always a highlight. Need to check if she's on the MILF thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leggy Blonde Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Missing Nel from our scrum is like trying to drive a tank with no tracks. Such an important player for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
