Scotland will be aiming to finish the season on a high. The confidence to bench a player like Russell definitely reflects this.
I think a 60 point margin is definitely on the cards.

Yeah seems about right, though Ireland only scored 4 tries against 14 man Eng, so maybe they’ll only win by 40 ish. But 40-60 to Ireland does seem right

Why is this a surprise?
Russell has been 5/10 at best

@mikethesnow russel at 5/10 is better than most after 10s

Kinghorn is the surprise. Hastings a surer bet imo

Obviously not, as rank outsider Kinghorn is preferred

14-5 HT. Scotland starting well, lots of possession. Ireland looking a bit more likely to score when they have the ball.
-
Hogg is SO ball greedy. 3 on 1 and goes himself. Try wouldn’t have counted anyway.
Would have counted after all. So poor.

Brilliant refereeing from Barnes

He’s having a good game. Standing up to his Aussie tmo

Bonus point win for Ireland in what was not a great performance again, but it seems not to matter, 26-5. Over to France now to decide the championship. Come on England!!

Ireland actually manage to defend the Raeburn Shield in this match which nobody has managed in the last 8 matches!

Worst ireland performance in a long time but still managed to just about get the bonus point. Not a great 6 nations for the Scots.

Don’t come here with your bullshit talk @profitius the mighty Scots lit up the tournament by beating England which basically made them the envy of the whole Six nations.
Anything else was a bonus, they’ll still be singing on the streets of Edinburgh after that performance.
