    @Victor-Meldrew In an extremely rare moment for the British rugby press, Corrigan is absolutely spot on with everything he's written there.

    I think the players are too big/strong.

    All Blacks channel had the last 10 minutes of the 2010 Boks match in Jo'Burg where the AB's scored two tries to take the game. The rugby was simply much much better to watch.

    Daily Telegraph had some of the best Rugby writing a few years back. Now, apart from the Ian McGeechan articles, it's pretty much shite.

      All over. Wales were brave. England were powerful and street smart. Wales 13 England 24.

      You forgot the most important part.

      The most uninspiring test match of the last few years. And there have been some shockers.

      Dull, dull dull.

      Disagree. It was an engaging hard-fought test to watch live. Some superb forward play and defence.

          No, that's a farce

          England's starting XV has 813 caps to France's 68.

                I don't know how long the Fijians are going to last in this game - don't know what their fitness is like after not training normally for the past two weeks due to Covid - but they've made a good start with an early try to Nadolo.

                    @Stargazer loving the weather.

                    Kind of coolish here ... 26deg C at 10:30 at night ...

                    Google tells me it's 6deg and (obviously) raining at Murrayfield.

                        Can I please drop in a whinge about the ref not calling the maul stopped when the Lelos were going backward before going forward. Didn't really affect play as mauls either broke away or went to ground but it irritated me.

                          I have no idea what that ref was talking about. Clear separation of the arm to the body or not. What was he looking for? Striking with the arm v bracing for impact v fending off the opponent?

                            So that's a hattrick for Nadolo? I lost count. Fiji destroying Georgia.

                              Game is way better that some of the others with the bigger countries. Enjoying it

                              This tournament has been good for Georgia. Gave them some real experience at top level and they have some good players. One plus from Covid I guess.

                                @Victor-Meldrew Yeah, that was entertaining. I don't think Georgia is quite ready to replace Italy in the 6 Nations, but if they get to play more games like this, they'll challenge them more and more.

                                  Pretty good game by former Crusaders Nadolo and Ben V.

                                  Georgia are pretty well coached and you can see that their actual patterns are good. Just lacking some class.

                                      Weird how they play a tape of a stadium announcer asking the crowd to stand up for the anthems. The crowd that isn't there.
