Been a disappointing day for rugby, no teams to get excited about yet. The England - Scotland game was like watching a club game.
Calcutta cup is rarely an attractive game to watch
too much hatred and history on the pitch
Got up at 2.38 am to watch the matches, thought England dominated a poor Scotland performance , Italy played well, France have a long way to go, another 3am start Tmo .

The he best one so far has been Ireland- Wales
A very sad day at Murrayfield. Why hatred is still being shown (after 600 years) on the sporting field I don't know. I wonder why they don't boo the Italians for building the wall The Ireland crowd was virtually silent for all the kicks, showing great respect from both sets of fans.
Perhaps it's just a Scottish thing that they need somebody to hate and blame things on.
Happily agree with what you've written but perhaps you could change it to say 'some Scots'. The people in question would also be more likely to cheer the Italians for building the wall!
Amen to that! - Very poor that any rugby crowd becomes disrespectful.
I wasn't there, but did not hear anything over a tannoy asking the supporters to show respect. Its even more disappointing that the officials think that this kind of behaviour is okay.
To be fair, though, Brian Moore said he never expected silence from the crowd when he was doing the kicking
