Six Nations 2017

[Kruse]

France 13 Scotland 5... actually looking like there could be TWO decent 6N games in a single weekend. Unprecedented.

[Bones]

@Kruse Scotland's halfback is France's best friend right now eh. What a douche.

[Kruse]

HT 13-11

Sitting in a pub, and there's a French hottie, and believe it or not, a Scot one.
Scot obviously underage though.. she's not pregnant.

As if that makes a difference.

Ali Williams makes a much better commentator than Justin Marshall.

Is that called 'faint praise'?

I can never decide if I like his smirk at the end of every "analysis", or hate it. but he's obviously just loving the fact he's got a piss-take job.

[Crucial]

Bloody commentators are ahead of the pictures. I'm sure they do this so the old bastards can sound like they are up with the play.
Either that or these guys are anticipating very well

That was a lovely try by Scotland. I have always maintained the effectiveness of the centering kick.

[Crucial]

Still a real arm wrestle. 16-16 with 15 to go and France turning down easy 3s.
Looks like France just shelled one. One of those fingertip jobs.......
Harsh call from TMO. Those are usually given.

[Crucial]

Frogs finally get in front again.

19-16

[Frye]

You know when Ali Williams is criticising your decision to not take the points that it's a bad idea.

They got the points eventually though at least.

[Kruse]

Now that Frogs are taking penalties, out to 22-16.

[Crucial]

5 quite even teams in this comp. makes for good watching even if they aren't overly skilled at unlocking defences.

[Kruse]

It's a shame, France was trying to play positive for ages, but they were forced to go penalties and time-wasting, and as soon as they did, they won.
How will they play next time?

[Derm McCrum]

@Kruse

With brute force against Ireland. Keep th sick bay open for the next round.

haha, gotta love Eddie!!

[ACT Crusader]

I've had the calculator all afternoon trying to figure out where the 7% comes from and I figured it out. Eddie thinks we have one better player than England.

1/15 is approx. 7%

[gollum]

@ACT-Crusader @taniwharugby

He sactually might have a valid point

The bit he was refering to was time it takes players to get up & be ready again after making a tackle. Said that when he started England were far to slow & they are now a lot better, but still 7% slower than the ABs.

I wouldn't put it past them to have starts saying exactly how long each player takes to get up & it being 7% behind the AB's team number. Unlike most of his numbers, that one actually has backup

[Margin_Walker]

Yeah, stuff cut that transcript to make him sound like Rain Man. They left out the bit that made it clear he was talking about a specific metric.

[Rapido]

Could be a headline from The Onion.
