Berry does look like someone who is always forgetting where he has put something important and then worries what it could be.

Not convinced the French lock got anywhere near the ball for that turnover.

Ramos has become a great kicker.

Ref said he knocked it forward from arm to head.

I’d say he was wrong on that.

Still, penalty from scrum is a good result in the end.
The reffing consensus is that if touches hand and then head and goes forward it still considered forward from the hand. If it's forward from head only then not. Weird and counter intuitive but seen as a handling error that results in the ball going forward. Same if it's mis handled and comes off the knee it's not considered kicked forward.

Total lack of composure by LRZ kicking that out on the full.

Bit of a wank consensus in my humble opinion.

He's always been so. His trouble is he has 1 game in a dozen where he melts down and then misses everything. I like my 85% kickers to miss 1 a game and not all of them in a single game.

That one could've gone either way. Thought Frenchman pulled it down.

Comment about Italy: I’ve been saying for years that Scotland play a different Italy from the other 6N teams because Italy turn up thinking they can win, because they have won before. I suspect that confidence is starting to build against some of the other sides as well. They have threatened a big performance all 6N, and must have fancied their chances against a patched-up Scotland side.
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

But not was wank as seeing a ball that went back from his hand then forward off his head as a delebrate knock forward...

He had an age to know the ball was carried back and so he could not kick it out on the full.

True, but Berry was probably wondering if he had left his tap running.

Er….he was clearly going to use his eagle like claws to hook it backwards. Yes, that’s it.

Absolutely carved open.

Wales look every day of their collective age of 3,000 years.

I feel your pain. I will not gloat as we play Ireland later. I trust equal sympathy will be in order.

Berry now thinks you can feed scrum ball straight into 2nd row.

Williams is just so slow at the base of each ruck. Would drive me mad if I was Welsh. First noticed it against England but he was very ponderous in those phases.
