Big game for Watson. Arguably doesn't deserve his spot ahead of Crosbie and Darge is back for Glasgow.

Here’s hoping for a repeat of 2007 at Murrayfield.

Terrible maul defence from the Scots. If you're going to commit an offence at least do so in a way that stalls or takes it down.

Jonny Gray really isn't a dominant carrier of the ball at all.

You missed the Scotland score and give away a penalty from the kick off.

This is a game of chance, that is a certainty.

That’s harsh. He got banged on the head before he could wrap his arms around.

Get Jonny Gray off. Complete wet wipe with the ball in hand.

Not what he said at all. Said he'd like to see the other side of the scrum.

And look. Offending player off and 1st stable scrum of the day.

That's not what happened :lol: The fat hairy Scot pulled the Italian down. Crowley is going to need a YouTube channel
That's exactly what happened. Nige said he would like to see the other side of the scrum as he thought the TH may have done something at the scrum with the yellow.

Italy so miss that one player Capuozzo on attack. He bursts in and accelerates so well. Without him there seems to be nothing when attacking in the 22.

Italy 4 didn't need to try and offload that. Patience and a few more phases were needed.

How can Gardener not see Ritchie kicked that. That's just terrible refereeing.

Nope. One knee on the body of the player he's attempting to turn over.

Scrappy but hopefully sapping the energy out the Italian legs.

I have to say I don't like the way Gray twists people in the tackle
Most of us don't like the way Gray does most things.
