I'm pretty sure if you spun the scrum 90 degrees when I played, it was a freekick/pen to the DEFENDING team... 

I've had plenty of concussions since then so I might be wrong. That (insert shit rugby joke here) stuff wasn't something I really got involved with tbh!

That was an U-19 variation IIRC, which was then implemented at lower levels in Scottish senior rugby (below Prem 3 I think)

Cheers! No wonder it all seemed like witchcraft!

 

With the touchzone being so big, I would have been tempted to throw that last Italy penalty high into the corner from the place kick) rather than for the posts and maybe catch England out. Surprised it doesn't happen more often in rugby, I always fancied doing it but never got the chance

You can't opt for a kick at goal then deliberately kick it away from the posts. It has to be ruled a legitimate attempt by the referee

"Sorry I've got a bit of a slice on today ref" 🤷‍♂️

I probably got told that before. It's scary how little I remember from playing, just kept running into people. Before concussion protocols so you'd just look down to see what colour you were wearing and everything else slowly came back to you!

The Italian lineout has made the Scottish one look efficient

😂

At least they didn't implode this time. Would've had money on a 15+ point win for England at half time if I didn't have standards but they matched up well. 

 

EDIT - This might not age well

Deserved BP for Italy. That Mitchell held/not held call was the key moment.

The Brave New World England remain fucking shite

Yeah.  Allowed England to get in front then suffocate the life out the game with power.  Italy couldn’t match it.
