Probably all you need to read on this

In truth a fair survey of match threads will show that it is the Irish posters here (and particularly on PR) that are the biggest whingers about the refereeing. Also consistently the most ignorant posters.

Good way for Scotland to end that. Excellent win in the end.

Now the real question is whether they can break the Ireland/France lock on the top 2 in the 6N.

Spoiler alert. We can't. We won't win both away in London and away in Paris.

And Ireland at home. Or away.

At the risk of taunting the mocker gods, I don't think France looked that good. But probably good enough to beat us on recent form.

I reckon the crowd behind them is worth an extra 14 points to them. I don't think I've ever seen such a crowd for a 7s game. So in a weird way, if we can't win it ...

Afrikaans has its own spelreels

Most Afrikaans speakers think Dutch sounds overly dramatic when spoken

Hoogdrawend - if that is also a word in Dutch.

Afrikaans does sound like a simplified Dutch, with less grammar involved, and guidelines on spelling dismissed (i.e. it hasn't evolved into modern Dutch). So phonetically the languages are very similar, but written down they aren't as alike.

There is a connection with Vlaams, which has kept a few ...
