Nice to see Henshaw back after a long timeout
Harsh on big Stu, who has been good this campaign but Henshaw is a level above. He'll need to be sharp to wipe out Huw Jones and Finn's attacking threats.

Stu has a calf problem and didn't train last week.

Whoever replaces Sexton is going to have a very, very short reign, because Sam Prendergast is the dogs bolloxs

tbf, we don't know how good the Scottish guys are, because we're not letting them have any ball.

This is an insanely talented side. Whatever we're doing at underage, we just need to keep doing it, & not change a thing.

If I was a Scot I'd be taking you out the back and beating the shit out of you for that mockers baiting!

But seriously, what evidence are you using between his performances last summer in the NZ series win and his excellent form in attack this 6N to base your opinion on?

Sam is actually human, he missed the 7th conversion from the touchline.

I feel sorry for the Scottish guys.

Posted: **Fri Mar 10, 2023 8:07 pm**

Need to bring in mercy rules now.

I don’t think I can bear watching the second half.

In fact I won’t. Off to England v France.

Posted: **Fri Mar 10, 2023 8:13 pm**

France absolutely minced England in the scrum then

Don't blame you. Even as an Irish fan, it seems nearly cruel to watch.

She's a very good ref, & easy on the eye. What more could you ask for ?

Posted: **Fri Mar 10, 2023 8:23 pm**

She should really displace Adamson as the token Scot in international refereeing.

Posted: **Fri Mar 10, 2023 8:24 pm**

Not been wowed by this crop of U20 but they've not been helped by ridiculous player rotation. However, the Montpellier lock, Nouchi, has improved game after game. 19!

Posted: **Fri Mar 10, 2023 8:27 pm**

Scotland showing a lot more fight this half; it hasn't converted into points yet, but they're at least they're buckling down !

He ran in his UK age group final and finished only 5th. That’s when you realise that the absolute top one’s in any sport are…. well, just on a different planet.
Yup, top sprinters against quick rugby players is no contest. Used to play touch on the Meadows in Edinburgh with Dougy Walker and it was insane seeing him just cruise round people I considered rapid. Also played against Derek Redmond back in the day and seeing him in full flight was special.

Played touch and trained with a prem/international ref. It's like a gentle warmup for him as he absolutely burns all but the most rapid of ours, but his ability to sustain it across the whole session is mad. Think he plays in a high level touch competition too. Not like our local club having a run around.

Posted: **Fri Mar 10, 2023 8:28 pm**

and just like that Scotland score under the sticks after finally getting a lineout right !

Putting the kids to bed Ive missed two tries it's now 17-22

Seriously killing that English scrum.

Posted: **Fri Mar 10, 2023 8:34 pm**

Quite fun watching Jr Orc's scrum getting marmalised.

Posted: **Fri Mar 10, 2023 8:35 pm**

The scrum has been dodge all tournment, getting properly punished this game.

Posted: **Fri Mar 10, 2023 8:38 pm**

The Welsh 10 has been shit but he's kicked his goals and santé hasn't and that's making the difference

He was excellent in attack against Italy. Fine off the bench against the other two. He was very average defensively against Italy but was playing out of position. Honestly not sure where you're coming from, looks like mockers baiting at best.
