Barack Posted February 10 1 minute ago, The Bookkeeper said: Guid prediction for today Not sure if the French getting emptied like that was good news or bad news for Scotland. Can see them make plenty changes and with backs against the wall they might be far more dangerous than they would have been. Tell me about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted February 11 England looked really good yesterday. just an aside though - that try from Farrell late on was a blatant knock on. It’s amazing the number of dodgy TMO decisions England get when they play at Twickenham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Old Tolbooth Posted Monday at 17:16 England always seem to peak right before a World Cup, I fancy them for the Grand Slam now as the only side I can see stopping them would be Wales, and that's a big ask. Only New Zealand are better than England right now in World rugby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like to believe that, but we really won't do them at Twickenham, we haven't won there since the early 80's when we had a very good team, the self belief when we go away from home is non existent, and we've went backwards under Toony.

Victorian Posted Wednesday at 18:24 The TMO system works really well in rugby and the nature and dynamics of the game are well suited to the reviewing process. By and large it works. But in a game where very little is missed, it's quite remarkable how often Scotland has fallen victim to rare lapses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The referee can't see everything of course. Setting some kind of embargo on the use of it can really only lead to an inherent, subjective flaw in the system. The TMO is much better placed to review things not immediately picked up by the referee and to proactively alert the referee to either discuss over the mic or review on screen. It was working very well for the most part. Limiting referees' use of it will lead to inconsistency and subjective errors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess in that instance it was absolutely necessary as foul play occurred and the ref made the wrong decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harry Potter Posted yesterday at 10:07 Looking at tickets for the England Scotland game, prices from 400 to 800 pounds. Whats that all about, seem to charge what they want, mind you if folk pay the prices they will still charge this . For the record , i have no interest in going, could buy 2 top of the range golf clubs for that money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
