6 nations 2021 Scrum down in the lockdown

[Jock42]

Hes cleared out when Fagerson comes in

[I like neeps]

Red card. Idiot.

[Begbie]

So very Scottish. Stupid twat.

[Hal Jordan]

Scotland have absolutely fucked this up. Wales on track for another Worst Grand Slam Ever.

[Sandstorm]

Shoulder to chin probably. Fair enough in 2021

[BnM]

2 for 2

[JM2K6]

If Wyn Jones hadn't been pulled back when Fagerson arrived, he'd have smashed him directly in the head rather than clipping his face.

Indeed the lifting was a blessing.

[Hal Jordan]

BUT nice to see charging into the ruck willy nilly starting to get looked at.

[Torquemada 1420]

Yup. What the f**k the TMO was trying to achieve there. Should be stood down.

[GogLais]

Will they never learn?

[TheNatalShark]

Going to be gubbed from here, Wales will win circa 20+ minimum

[Insane_Homer]

Wales can win 6N if everyone they play gets a red or 2

[Torquemada 1420]

Will they never learn that only Farrell has an invisibility cloak?

[Sandstorm]

Will they never learn?

Doubt it

[Slick]

It’s the other Fagerson that is doing my head in. He needs to stop fucking about and start doing his job

[Hal Jordan]

They'll start a man up against us when we pick Youngs.

I had an argument with a pro player during the week about the POM thing and judging by the commentators just now it does seem like the players and recent players all seem to think "that's how they're told to clean people out" is justification.

"He has to do it or they might steal the ball" is such bizarre justification. We don't justify high tackles because players might get past them.

Warburton: "What else is he supposed to do? What if they're mean to him in the Monday morning review for not preventing the turnover?"

Players and coaches need to start buying into the idea that letting the opposition nick the ball isn't worth hitting each other in the head over.

To which my answer is protect the ball better or better still, get the damned thing away and play some rugby.

Doesn’t help when players from 5-10 years ago have the mic on International TV.

Some of them manage to move with the times, but there are definitely too many who don't and basically go with 'we used to be able to do that'.

10 years is being kind to a lot of the BBC panel!

[Torquemada 1420]

Another quality kick from Russell under advantage.

[tcc_dc]

Another quality kick from Russell under advantage.

I admire your persistence with the hate...top man

[Torquemada 1420]

Another quality kick from Russell under advantage.

Repeat

For sure. All it will take is 1 pundit to say “ Well that’s bloody stupid from Fagerson!!”

[Hal Jordan]

Kick to the big winger again...

[Torquemada 1420]

Kick to the big whinger again...

AWJ?

[Torquemada 1420]

Hogg great work there.

[tcc_dc]

oh Hogg....great run and power

The risk matrix of ‘oppo get the ball’ vs ‘oppo play vs 14 men’ hasn’t been properly assessed by most pros yet. I assume they will at some point

[Jock42]

Mon lads.

Great kick

[Sandstorm]

Couple of quality 14s out there today.

[BnM]

Oooh that was nice.

[tcc_dc]

wow...what a a try from Wales

[Ymx]

Another game affecting red card.

[TheNatalShark]

To be honest it looks like Scotland are defending with 13

[I like neeps]

Another game affecting red card.

Well then players should stop launching at heads. Scotland have absolutely nobody to blame apart from Zander Fagerson. And Gary Graham who was as bad as you'll ever see.

[Lemoentjie]

Another game affecting red card.

That is the point of them, yes

[Paddington Bear]

Another game affecting red card.

Don’t shoulder people in the head then
