Great game, could have gone either way and I’ve never seen so many crucial handling errors from a top team.
France’s last try though. Two very obvious forward passes and yet no review?
I’ve been wanking on about how rugby has got VAR right and then that is allowed. Maybe it’s not so great after all……

We manage a win tomorrow and then beat yous again but then will lose at home to Wales.
One of their tries last week was a forward pass from Dupont as well.
I would be both devastated and absolutely delighted if that happened. In fact it might give me CTE
I had to go on urban dictionary to find the exact definition, but it would appear that one of you, Wilko, or Itoje is a white woman seeking black men to jerk off.
So its exactly as I thought
Fair play to England. Really didn’t know if they had that performance in them for 80 minutes. France will be disappointed by their handling errors but English defence again played a part. Huge opportunity for both teams tomorrow now. Ireland should fancy themselves if they can build on the second half against England but Scotland really have to be thinking they can do something here.
I’m going to need to urban dictionary it now because that’s not what I was implying
Wilkinson is a class act and always has been. The type of player who was so good that rivals should always hate but they just can’t. Like Carter or Dupont and I imagine BOD for non Irish fans.
Yes BOD was hard to dislike. ROG a bit easier and Sexton considerably easier
He's a gentleman too. Helped my Mum out when she got in a tangle with her luggage at a train station and carried it all on for her.
I think Pexbo claimed him first
Even I have doubts about ROG nowadays. fecking LAR are a nightmare. I love Sexton. The Roy Keane of Irish rugby and like Keane even a lot of Irish fans seem to hate him but begrudgingly respect his talent. If he played for Munster I’d dread him but strangely I like POM so I dunno.
Yeah they need to undo this rule change before this starts happening all the time.
Why??
Because it completely changes the nature of lineouts. The point of the rule is to not penalise accidentally crooked throws which don’t influence the outcome. In that clip a deliberate crooked throw clearly influences the outcomes.
I’ve only just realised how close Smith’s conversion was to being charged down. Can you imagine the aftermath if that had happened.
The other crazy thing was that if he’d timed his kick a little better France wouldn’t have had a restart. Imagine if they went up the pitch and scored?!
Yeah definitely. As someone who watches the NFL regularly, where that kind of clock management is a given, I was in shock he didn’t let it run further. Although I’m not sure how easy it is to know the exact time left when you’re on the pitch. I’ve seen examples of the screen clock not tying up with the ref’s watch.
Im ready to be hurt this afternoon. Cmon Scotland.
Really? They need to sort that out. Can you imagine the controversy if someone lost a match because of that?!
You’ll perform bravely for 50/60 minutes before succumbing and losing by 6-10.
There you go, my predictions are always hopelessly wrong….itll be a blowout now
Over in the first 20
i bet she was sopping the whole journey.
Not sure I agree with that, looked fine to me, also this rule keeps the game flowing quicker.
Perfectly happy with changing the fundamentally flawed nature of lineouts.
There's plenty of other rules that need addressing, this ain't one for me.
If the other team doesn't compete, you can throw crooked lineouts now.
It's already looking like a daft rule that's impossible for the refs to administer. Crooked lineouts let go all over the place now.
Ireland did in the days before the shot clock, against Scotland at Murrayfield.
Took a full two minutes to take a kick and it ended the game.
Away games are hard. I think this'll be much closer and I won't be surprised if Scotland win.
Nah…..you’re not EnglandOver in the first 20
Agreed and I think it’s important that a lot of these players have actually won something now (URC). That should give them a bit of a mental boost, most Scottish players literally never win anything. It might give them a bit more grit when the going gets tough
going to be rooting for scotland. that way, england have a chance at the grand slam -1.
Not to forget the covetted Double Crown.
Yeah I’m in favour of the stop clock, to stop teams taking the piss. But it needs to be clearly visible to the kicker and the clock they see needs to be used as the official time.
the one we all want.
On the way to Murrayfield now and atmosphere building up nicely. Just hope for a good game and we keep it at least competitive rather than a one sided blowout. If England can do it then no reason why we can’t either.
I wish Gabby Logan would stop interrupting Ronan O'Gara
there's a legend of the game explaining his point of view let him speak!

Ah he needs interrupting, he can go on and on if let.
yeah he's a proper Irish lad, but I enjoy it!
Scotland couldn’t have started much worse.
They've been begging for a yellow and could get one here
