Football (of the soccer variety) has us beat here. Need a medic? You're off until the next break in play unless you were on the receiving end of a foul deemed worthy of a yellow card.

It's ironic isn't it. We give them shit about diving, but then we have players constantly pretending to be injured to get rest.

It's simulation, should be card worthy. Maybe a new pink card and 10 minutes off the field?

All over. Finn "Dan Carter" Russell not having his best game, but not helped by Scottish forwards getting absolutely dominated.

Showed today he’s not a Test player

Well, aside from 50 odd caps for Scotland, two Lions tours and generally being lauded as the most creative 10 in the UK you’re definitely right.

International player who blows very hot & very cold.

That’s not a Test player in my book.

Spencer v Mehrtens springs to mind.

So if you have an off game you’re not a test player ?

He’s had a tad more than one

Oh for sure but I think an apt description of him and his style of play is “mercurial”…..a bit like Spencer as you mentioned, Quade Cooper and his coach Gregor Townsend. I don’t think you can really label him “not a test player” as just the week before he orchestrated a very good win over Australia.

He also does extremely well for someone built like a pro soccer player.

There’s no doubting his talent and skills.

He may well be remembered as one of Scotland’s greats.

Shallow pool but yeah. Up there with Townsend, Chalmers and Rutherford.

The even less known women's equivalent of the Reaburn Shield would be called the Utrecht Shield. New Zealand won it off England this morning if this list is correct:
