Six Nations 2017

[Crucial]

13-6 from a long range kick in front of the posts

[Crucial]

Great break by Scotland killed out by Welsh players all with their hands on the ground past the ball at the tackle claiming the turnover.
Looks like Scotland will get some points just before half time though.

[Kruse]

Yep, 9-13... and I'd rather be watching SuperRugby.

The speed in the Super Rugby games is quite obvious when you watch these games on the same day. However I'd love to see a Super game with the crowd noise going on here. It's pretty impressive.

Not sure if Scotland have fucked that up? Going to the TMO

Try!

Should have been a PT anyway for the high shot

[Crucial]

In off!

16-13 to the Sweaties

[Kruse]

@Crucial Yeah, that's fair enough. Noise and atmosphere at these things look great.
The quality of the rugby itself is a bit of a lottery.

[Crucial]

'Flower of Scotland' going full tit now

Yeah, not even a warning for that high shot. Odd.

Visser beats North clean twice in the same passage and scores to give Scotland a 13 point lead.

Pretty poor.

[Billy Tell]

Great result for Scotland. The NH sides often have their 10s deeper and narrower than the nz super rugby sides which I find annoying but they created some nice tries.

North was pants. Is he really a Lions tour contender?

[Crucial]

It will be going off big time in Thistle St tonight. Well deserved win by Scotland. They fought back against the point of the game they were getting owned in (the breakdown) and took the spoils because of it.
An also-ran year for Wales now.

He's not properly fit and yet is being flogged by Wales.

Is he carrying an injury? I know he had time off from concussion but he was fit before then and was cleared a couple of weeks ago.
I agree that I have seen him sharper but still, you are only as good as your last game and on that performance he should slip down the Lions list.

[Catogrande]

@Crucial He didn't play against England two weeks ago and looked below par for much of the previous game v Italy. Ho had a thigh problem but scored a good try although it looked like he limped it in. They kept him on for the rest of the game too. Neither Wales nor Northampton have good previous on his concussion issues either, keeping him on the filed when it was pretty obvious it was the last place he should be.

[MN5]

Tim Visser. Best winger in the world. What a player.

[Crucial]

So both Ireland and Scotland still in the title hunt. See ya next year France and Wales.

[Derm McCrum]

Oh yeah.

Ireland won as well.

Makes Round 4 interesting. Scotland with tails up against England. Wales with some revenge on their minds at home to Ireland.
