Bonus point for losing by 7 points or less. Pretty lucky to get it yesterday, as it was more down to Scotland not taking their chances than anything England did to keep the game close. Also get one if you score 4 tries. Edited February 7, 2021 by PortyJambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I see it but you may interpret things differently. Anyway, Scotland were brilliant to a man. Hope we can do it to the rest! I'm not a fan of her either - she's far too left-leaning. Yes, I was very happy with our performance yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 The scrum half role has becomes the most boring position in the game. A million hanging kicks and a load of pop passes. No breaks, no invention or variety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of England players did similar. Not as big a stooshie had it been football players, I feel. Its rugby against racism not blm. If you want to take a knee fine if not, fine.

A million hanging kicks and a load of pop passes. No breaks, no invention or variety Sometimes the box-kick's a good option, esp against an advancing hefty pack, however I wouldn't describe Ali Price or Antoine Dupont's position as boring, as Price's chip & chase for Scotland's 3rd at Twickenham last time proved. Price has a lot of armoury in his game - and Dupont's direct running will be a thorn in Scotland's side, next time in Paris. Watching both these scrum halves in action, won't be too eye bleeding, I'd predict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy every Scotland victory over England. Why? Because it is the oldest rivalry in international sport. Yesterday was 150 years of the Calcutta cup. Next year it will be 150 years we have been playing football against each other. I dont hate England or English people, but I love beating them at sport, any sport. It's called rivalry.
