I anticipate “Trump“ Jones getting a lot more infuriating still until the music stops!
How can you seriously compare Eddie to Trump? Your opinions on rugby are always pretty bizarre, but this is a new low.
You make a valid point Scrumhead, I was probably being a little bit harsh on The Donald!

I was popping by to post exactly this. One of the most painfully boring matches I've seen in a long time.

The wind was obviously a factor, but both teams looked rubbish.
Looks like Father Time is really catching-up with AWJ too. He can only make the Lions squad on sentimentality right now.

If he goes, it can only be for leadership reasons. He looks like a tired old man.

Haha. Like a terrible movie it had a bit of that "so bad it's good" thing for me.
Whatever. Scotland just won an away game so I'm happy.

Seeing Jonny Hill with a different group of players really shows how much bulk he’s gained.
Definitely less of a beanpole now. Worried that he looks noticeably nervous though ...
I’d really like him to have a good game.

Does anyone have a stream for this? My usual spots are down or showing the cycling (what?)

The fact he considered 10. Ford 12. Farrell “tinkering” is still bothering me.

No worries, someone turned the cycling off.

Well, that was unexpectedly good, well done. Though awful from Italy.

Surprising turn of pace from Farrell for the try. I didn’t think he had that acceleration in his locker.

Anyone looks quick against some of the Ita players, and the 3 qS chasing him

I genuinely think he doesn't want players coming in and potentially messing up his established pecking order.

Yay, almost 3 minutes for Tom
ETA Or maybe not, George not coming off just yet
ETA2: Yay, a whole 62 seconds for Tom!

Seems almost insulting when this game has been utterly stagnant for about 70 minutes.

The main takeaway from this year still has to be that France are fun again. Their defence is a mixture or intimidatingly aggressive and crap and their attack is wierd but sometimes absolutely great. I almost feel bad Scotland took the tournament away from them but, if they can sort out their penalties, they will win a lot of games over the next few years.
