GH not the sharpest knife in the cutlery drawer, just a bit boring! His brother Scott is a very nice guy, more interesting and very generous despite all the trials and tribulations in his private life. Scott also had a bit of a wild side, notably being banned from the Edinburgh New Club I ...

Williams the very definition of a sympathy pick.

Daly is bizarre, and Cummings unexpected, but at least no O Farrell. Happy for Pollock as a bolter (though would have preferred Ritchie to go).

So sorry to hear about your loss vball. much sympathy, it must be a really tough time for you & your family. I hope the insurance co etc don't make your life any harder.

Nasdaq down over 4% today so far, after falling 6% yesterday.

I wonder how many Wall Street companies and pension fund managers are on the phone to the Whitehouse screaming at the fat orange twat to stop fucking the markets (and also the economy).

Just another day for Trump/Musk's criminal enterprise

This happened yesterday, the occupants of the cabin that crashed seem to have minor injuries only, which is good news. My daughter was on the lift a bit further up the mountain when it failed. The lift was ...

Preferably ones who have good loud voices & some semblance of Leadership, as the lack of leaders out there in the last 15 mins was obvious.

There were a few point where you could have thrown a blanket over the Scots, & surprise, surprise the Welsh kept finding the edges.

Dear lord, why can we not control games when we're in the box seat.

Lineout went to pieces once Cherry went off.

Looked like this last year, and we all know what happened

That's well done. Looks like there's nothing on

Of course he gets that one

7/1 for the win! Ironic that would be considered anti-rugby (and rightly so if it's accompanied by boring anti-rugby style of play (looking at you Ireland/SA)), but France delivered some pretty exciting play today.

No luck of the Irish for a change. Fun to watch.

It's not often you see Ireland counter-rucked off the ball, they're usually so organised at the breakdown

13 all, checking on another bit of Irish foul play before proceeding with conversion for France's try.
What’s with them today? They cheat a lot but not usually dirty

Well, apart from POM, obvs

Worthy title decider between the 2 top teams. Defences so far on top. Winner will be the fitter.

Do Ireland have a 5/3 or 6/2 bench? Sorry, too lazy to look it up

Another interesting exit

Stupid from Porter, he knows what he's doing but clearly forgot the new rule (or assumed the ref would ignore it)

Although, how many times has he said "next time's a free kick"??

Interesting exit!

Yeah, so stupid

Blatant side entry totally fine today (both sides, to be fair)

No deliberate on second view, but Penaud's arms looked like they were slapping it down

Deliberate knock-on?

Bullshit call, not forward

Grim. You have my sympathies, as does your brother & family.

Was waiting to see if Finn is fit, and to see if the forecast has improved. Both positive, but I still can't bring myself to predict a Scotland win

Going to also say something I’ve never said before, Toony out.

I think he has done a great job and brought a decade of the probably the most exciting Scotland team in my lifetime, but I’m feeling like this is now the end of the era. That team, much as I still enjoy watching them (mainly), isn ...

ScarfaceClaw wrote: Sun Feb 09, 2025 4:27 pm Ireland getting a little lucky there. Those penalties were stacking up.

They always seem to be. It's annoying.

Did Lowe slap that down? Deliberate knock on?

The annoying thing is Ireland do sometimes have poor(ish) games, they weren't great against England, they were relatively poor against Australia, but they're never poor against us. Maybe we should see it as a compliment!

Among all the new additions to both Olympics, I actually think ski and boarder cross is pretty fun to watch.

I also enjoy seeing the icicle beards/boogers in the nordic while sat at home snuggled up all warm on the sofa. (I enjoy doing it myself, but not at a break-neck pace and not when it's ...

Russell is not okay.

Jordan to FH
McDowall to IC
Dobbie to wing

Is it too late to change my score prediction?

The 'Marcus Smith for Lions fly half' cheerleaders will have a job on if he loses that job for England to Fin Smith.

Not saying you're necessarily wrong, but you're giving Steve Borthwick's opinion more weight than any England fan ever would.

Quite!
If I were a Scottish fan I'd be looking ...

Big D wrote: Tue Feb 04, 2025 11:59 am 6/2 split this week?

Ireland didn't last week against England, so I'd guess they won't this week either. Not sure there's any need for Scotland to go 6/2?

If Scotland do go for 6/2 then the second backs replacements would likely be Jordan due to his versatility, and I'd rather see Jordan start.
