Six Nations tomorrow........

Amazing display from Scotland, passion and heart along with great coaching. England were awful, but Scotland were awesome, simple as that, time for Jones to go.

England were lacking some fire power, but that is no excuse for that performance, totally, and I mean totally outplayed on the day.

Good to see our Devon Scots playing so well. 👍😀
 
It will be an interesting Six nations now. France are my tip to win but Scotland played brilliantly yesterday. Their loose forwards neutralised any English quick ball. I was worried of this when I saw the squad. Although I’m a fan of Billy there are better number 8s out there. Dombrandt from harlequins and symonds from Exeter. Both more mobile and could have caused problems to Scotland. The missing tight five as well showed our weaknesses there and hence the massive penalty count. Cannot see us putting 50 points against italy as easily as France did yesterday.
think Eddy needs to look forwards to the next World Cup and build a new team rather than rely on his old stagers.
the Welsh are doing this and with Ireland under new leadership today should be a good match.
 
Great win for Scotland at long last (at Twickenham), but this year I seem to have lost any real interest in the Six Nations...... playing without a crowd must be the most dis-spiriting experience possible for a player. Part of the fun is sitting in overpriced seats at Murrayfield, yelling your head off and trying desperately not to get hypothermia whilst clinging on to hip flask and enjoying the banter with supporters of any of the nations sitting all around you. Hopefully next year will be back to a degree of normal and I'll get my mojo back, but this year.....nope....:(

I certainly get what you mean, I don’t know how many international rugby matches I have been to, certainly over 50 around various parts of the world, it just isn’t the same without the fans. Rugby has always been my passion as a player, coach and former Chairman of my local club, and the atmosphere is certainly different to most other sports, Cricket is a fun atmosphere also.

But sadly I will not be attending many more big games, the money is not an issue but I do begrudge paying £135 for a ticket nowadays. I have also told my “Rugby group” of mates, all ex players, that I will not pay to watch any rugby match, including my beloved Exeter Chiefs who I follow including into Europe, whilst they are taking the knee before the kick off. Good on the vast majority of the Scottish squad who remained stood yesterday.

100% agree.

Kneeling for BLM shows solidarity with a mixed bag of odf dispoarate ideologies, many of which lie a long way from a lofty endorsement of anti-racism born out of Trayvon's death.

Some BLM leaders are overtly marxist. Many chapters seek removal of aspects of our culture including statues. The BLM website has a mission statement that attacks the Biblically defined family structure.
