[Other Sport] Six nations 2024

[Simster]

Really should have been a thread for the World Cup final that never was last night, but a story now developing in Rome.

England 17-8 down and deservedly so as Italy have just run in a fabulous try.

 

[Weststander]

The RFU post Woodward have made so many gaffs eg ignoring Shaun Edwards as a support coach, whilst Andy Farrell looks the business.

Stuck at home and unable to go to the Amex so watching England.

Our trouble is that we are SO predictable. There’s no champagne rugby on show yet.

Why Farrell wasn’t fast-tracked is a mystery.

Snobbery on RL origins?

Some game in Cardiff. Wales were 27-0 down. Now 27-26

Nervy last 10 minutes. Scotland narrowly avoiding the dreaded '27-0 and you f**ked it up'

Ireland utterly destroyed France on Friday.

I was thinking about it, being an Irish rugby fan is a bit like being a Brighton fan inasmuch as this is a golden era for both of us and both teams are WAY better than they've ever been at anytime in their past. Results that at one time would have been inconceivable are now routine. And I don't think either set of fans can really believe it! (Certainly not the older ones).

The French centre stood completely unmarked for an age.

Every free Scottish player lurked by the posts.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Sensors in the gumshield which detect excessive force from an impact. Blimey.

Scotland denied by the TMO at the death. France win 20-16

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

We wuz robbed booooooooo

 

[Pavilionaire]

I'm surprised TMO didn't overturn that. One image showed ball on ground on line and Scotland No. 12 - who has a clear view -punching the air.

 

[Weststander]

When the ball came fully of the boot, gravity meant there was literally only once place for it to land, the turf. Regarding location it was already on or over the line. To me common sense meant that was a try.

Was the French pundit wearing welding gloves?

Yup. Am not sure what the TMO was looking for. Looked obvious to me.

For cast iron evidence by seeing the ball touching grass.

 

[hart's shirt]

England down to 13 players for now.

And despite that, they score!
