I hope Leinster absolutely dick Saracens tbh, think it will be tight though.

 

On to today - I’m very optimistic and think that we will win which obviously means that we’re going to get pumped instead. 

 

I do think though that we’d have won last week had Hogg scored/not made a complete fanny of it. I also think there were a lot of 50/50 decisions which went against us which on another day would have gone in our favour. 

For today I think we have the better back row, half backs and back 3. England picking Curry at 8 again seems strange considering last week, and I think them not picking a big ball carrier in the back row will work in our favour. Vunipola (and to a lesser extent Sinkler) aside, they don’t have many big, physical ball carriers in their team which is what they’ve based so much of their game on the past few years. So as long as we can match their (significantly lower than normal) physicality I think we’ll win.

 

Scotland 23- England 17.

If Scotland win the first scrum, we'll win the scrum penalties the whole game. At least, based on previous games with French referees, that's how it should go...

On the other hand, Poite's one of the touch judges. That incompetent (I'd rather use a different, more libellous term) fucker should be nowhere near Scotland games.

Firstly, though, I hope Ireland give Wales a scheme booting.

Are you sure? As he’s definitely reffing the Ireland Wales game...

😂  fucking hell, I've made an absolute tit of myself here (again).

I've looked at Wikipedia, seen Scotland at home and instead of looking down, I've looked up at the England-Wales match and seen his name as one of the touch judges. I've also confused France for England and March for February. Fine effort all round.

Point still stands about him though. Will direct my displeasure at *checks* Pascal Gauzere instead.

I'm not convinced Poite actually needs to see the game to be able to ref in his normal way. As proved by that ruck there!

Anyway,

Referee: Pascal Gauzere (France)

Touch judges: Mathieu Raynal (France) & Federico Anselmi (Argentina)

TMO: James Leckie (Australia)

I mean I definitely agreed with the sentiment anyway.
