Scarlet fans not happy on facebook

"Donald Rees The ref was terrible so biased against the scarlet

Stuart Jones Scarlets were very poor ref was aweful let Glasgow get away with everything pro14 refs are abismal

 

There is nothing more pleasing than the salty tears of the Irish and Welsh after they've been handed their collective arses.

Its something like £3m a year less as well

£6m in the 1st year (Nat West was £9m for one year and RBS was worth £100m over 6 years) increasing by about  £1m a year

It looks like Guinness will be the new Six Nations sponsors signing a 6 year deal. So that will be the Irish getting even more help from the refs for the next six years

Given that while RBSG were sponsoring it between 2004 and 2018  Scotland won only 20 out of 75 games this has to be bad news for Irish Rugby

Grigg has been great recently but was a defensive liability in the final three games last season. He needs to step up tomorrow.

A lightweight midfield is bold from Rennie, hopefully he has spotted that Lyon have dodgy fitness.

This is exactly what gives me the fear about that centre partnership. Both undoubtedly have earned the start, but it's an awfully light weight pairing.

Looking ahead to the Edinburgh game tonight, I see both of Newcastle's named tightheads are struggling with niggling injuries. Hopefullu that'll give an already decent Edinburgh scrum the advantage. 

Also has anyone heard the phone interview Gary Graham did on the Andy Goode/Jim Hamilton podcast? He spoke quite candidly about the whole Scotland/England/Scotland fiasco.
