6 nations 2021 Scrum down in the lockdown

[sturginho]

Have said this before: Italy have to play Canna at 12 (2nd 5/8th) to give them more options in the backline.

But it didn't work when he played there

Disagree. You lose a little in defence but gain 2 playmakers and a vital kicking option. As good as Garbisi is, if he is the only playmaker, pretty soon he'll be marked out of every game by opponents.

[Torquemada 1420]

Carbonel immediately makes me look foolish

[PCPhil]

The last lineout is so Italy, sorry to say.

But that didn't happen when he was playing at 12

Italy: Forces turnover

Also Italy: Immediately contrive to concede a 5m scum and try

[PCPhil]

Ahh well. Now for the feast of English running rugby.

[laurent]

Decent game against a weak opposition. Italy did spot a weakness around the rucks hopefully to be remedied.

Looked like a friendly game, happy with the result but could have kick a bit less, mainly Fickou.

[Insane_Homer]

has Clive had a few wines, a stroke or trying to do Sean Connery?

[BnM]

"there's a grittiness, nastiness to it"

[laurent]

Come on Scotland

[Insane_Homer]

What's the point of social distancing during the national when those same 40 odd players are about to rub up against each for 80+ mins?

[Insane_Homer]

Pen count 4-0 already in 5.5 mins. Eng need to be careful.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Come on Scotland!

[PCPhil]

Looks like we’re going to win on the penalty stats......again

[Hal Jordan]

Scotland look committed. England look clueless.

Keeps the wingers Covid free, anyway.

[Hal Jordan]

FUCK OFF SPIDERCAM!

[Slick]

.

[Uncle fester]

Italy just blown away in end.

[PCPhil]

Sometimes it’s like England players are playing the game to try to get away with stuff cus the ref won’t see us. Moronic.

[Insane_Homer]

No advantage for the Etoji knock on?

[Hal Jordan]

Slade kicks away turnover ball.

[TheNatalShark]

No advantage for the Etoji knock on?

Perhaps ref thought was stripped back.

Incredible subsequent bullett pass by Russell

[Insane_Homer]

persistent pen warning after 20 mins

[PCPhil]

How can you give away this many penalties? Have Scotland given away 1 yet?

[Hal Jordan]

Team yellow, that was coming.

[Insane_Homer]

and there's the inevitable yellow.

[ScarfaceClaw]

and there's the inevitable yellow.

He was a mile offside and then a high tackle. This is after a warning for an endless stream of penalties.

[TheNatalShark]

Scotland gave the first scrum penalty.

Scotland should have really scored there, greedy by Watson

[Hal Jordan]

If May want to be a more effective no 8, he needs to clap those cheeks closer to his cheeks.

[Insane_Homer]

i thought the scot tight head folded first on that pen.

[sturginho]

Is it just me or have England's kit designers managed to make a simple white shirt look ugly?

[Slick]

Genge not quite his usual cocky self

[Hal Jordan]

England got away with that one, and ground time off the yellow card.

[BnM]

FFS

[Sandstorm]

Quality try Scots

[Hal Jordan]

Piss weak tackling there, Scotland should have been ushered out after botching it 5m out.

[Hal Jordan]

Ah yes, Daly. What, exactly, is he for?
