Why is the game chat in here and not the URC thread?

No SA team involved.

Hoping one of you knows how this should work... My Viaplay subscription ends in a week. The URC matches are now on Premier Sports. Viaplay are offering me a good deal (£59 for the year) to continue the subscription. But am I right in thinking that won't give me Premier Sports access? Do I need to su...

I've enjoyed the period from when my daughter first became truly 'interactive' - around 3ish - until now immensely. It really is such a great age, they are so enthusiastic about everything and although they have their moments, they are generally a delight to be around. I have a 6 and a 4 year old. ...

:lol: I don't want to sound like, well whatever this sounds like, but cherish this, all of a sudden they will be finished with college or whatever and have their own lives. I have no idea where the last 20 years went. My sentiment exactly. My granddaughter is 3 and a half and it is an absolutely se...

It was TNT 5 Bummer, as OTOM's preview had said TNT3. How do you get to TNT5? I can only see 4 TNTs on my telly! Aye, apologies for that - in my defence that's where it was listed earlier in the week! I put something up on Twitter ahead of kickoff about red button access to TNT Sports 5 but should'...

Durban if Sharks win; Hive if Zebre do.

Good result, eventually.

Very cool. Thank you for mentioning it! Will start to watch that bit of sky, otherwise I am sure to miss it.

I'm not hearing that being said, but I am seeing a few (not all) bollox pens being given.

it was all shit The Oxford team suffered from E-Coli from day before. Feels a bit Suzy. Not really. The Thames is a filth pit, and Oxford are shite. Seems unlikely, given they beat Leander (the national squad club) in the build up. Shame about the sickness bug, whether e-coli or otherwise. One thin...

Not sure if the boredies are much in to rowing.

I care greatly about it, but the bored isn't where I would look for commentary on the race.

Sounds increasingly like the SRU should aim to entice him across in two years' time (or sooner). Sounds just what Scotland need. https://www.1news.co.nz/2024/03/28/how-olympic-trauma-inspired-the-hurricanes-electric-super-rugby-start/ I like where you are coming from but he is well thought of in th...

Is the international window not only 3 weeks? From looking at the fixtures for the other teams it looks like the Fiji game might be outside the window Yeah I think Fiji will be Scotland only based players. And given Fiji will presumably also lack players for the same reason, that match ought to be ...

So, two things to think about now that the Six Nations are over. 1, who tours this summer. 2, who might retire/be moved on from the squad prior to the next six nations. In terms of the summer for me it is a mixture of rest for the most overworked world cup players, more caps for some of the older b...

We have that one wee loop off 12 variation in attack but our attack hasn't evolved and too often we still rely on Duhan doing something special to win games. Amd we scored the second fewest tries in the 6N. I'm burnt out with VDM running across the face of the opposition and not even thinking about...

I wonder if that’s it. Other teams have multiple players constantly appealing and moaning. But then when Jamie Ritchie did it, he got marched back. As captain! Refs regularly send back captains if they don't want to hear from them. You're seeing a conspiracy that simply doesn't exist. Not send back...

The most impressive thing about Scotland this campaign was highlighted by skipper Finn in his post match comments after both the Welsh and French games. In the former he lambasted the sheer stupidity of them giving away so many penalties in a row and the latter he refused to blame the ref and sayin...

But do they *really* only do two training sessions a week during the 6N as GT said before game 4? That surprised me. Why are you considering a training session, and how many wold you like them to do? GT said it, so the question may be what he considers to be a training session. But it's these guys'...

There is one more thing they haven't addressed: how to gain the favour of the refereeing group.

Meant to post this here not in the match thread... Having seen Ireland's second try over and over again now, I am fuming. More and more, it seems like Scotland are being held to a different standard than the other teams. How is that try awarded? There's blocking, there's holding a potential tackler ...

I don't think we ever had much hope to be fair. We were solid but I think the try flattered us scoreline wise.

As did the first (the gift) flatter them.

Yet another "knock on" called that went backwards. Is that three so far against Scotland?

Nice!

Gold watch for Carley?

It happens quite often in Scotland matches. A referee takes against them and then all the decisions go the other way.

We've reached the bullshit penalties time of the match.

Wasn't that held up? he asked facetiously.

Big D wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2024 6:12 pm Penalty for that yet when the ball pinged of Furlongs chest to an Ireland player in front it was just a scrum.

That was a penalty.

Yeah I was surprised by that.

So Scotland aren't allowed decoy runners, even when they stop no tackles from occurring?

How can that be forward if it lands behind him?

Ridiculous.

At least Carley seems fair so far.
