They are. Deservedly ahead.

 

[Nando]

Fair play to Scotland. They've come back strong after a poor start.

 

[Tredman]

Scotland playing very well, much more like the team I expected after the way they played at the RWC

Fuck me the half time comms might as well be wearing a fucking kilt.

Nicol is by far the most biased pundit in tv land.

Could go either way this, although on previous form Scotland will find a way to fuck up

 

[jd1981]

Hell of amount of errors from both sides here.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I can't believe he wanted the Welsh try chalked off. Fucking bell.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Get in. Stick that up your jumper Nicol.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

George North you fucking beauty!!!

 

[jd1981]

How much advantage does the ref want to play prior to that scrum leading to the try?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He did keep it going for a remarkably long time to be fair. No idea what he was thinking.

 

[jd1981]

Don't usually slag rugby refs but I think this one has been mediocre at best for both teams.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He hasn't been the best. Definitely no Nigel Owens, but obviously Wales can't have him refereeing.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Happy days. Win in the bag. Annoyed about the late Scottish try as that gives England some points difference advantage.

I said not to underestimate Scotland, and Wales did.

Wales were lucky as that first try was offside and that stupid ref. went to the TMO and still got it wrong. Another poor Irish ref..
Have to say though that the tries from George North and Jamie Roberts were superb.

Oi thats a bit rich coming from the nation that gave us the Barnesanator :icon_biggrin:

Saying that him and Lacey are bad refs, I am not sure why they get so many big games, even if its a political/nation divvy the games up equally job there is an excellant Irish ref in JP Doyle but he seems to be behind these two.

He was equally as bad to both sides yesterday, but in fairness to him yesterday (reading some of the rugby forums) he was right with the Welsh try, seems when the Scottish player went intentionally to play the ball and it hit him then Davies was played back onside. I think not too much would have been made out of it if Nicol wasnt on the panel, I got the impression Guscott was never convinced as he kept using the phrase "we think."

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Precisely. But I will admit my bias on the decision as well!

 

[Paul]

Intense start by the Italians !

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Very good start. They look rather up for it. I would imagine England will end up having too much, but good to see Italy starting so well.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Good hands by England there. Some very nice stuff.
