Rugby

Safe to say some of these Super League fellas haven’t worked out the no contact to the head laws yet. Another red…

Gloucester Exeter was good. 17 points to nil first half for Glos, then 14 points to nil second half for Exeter. Nervous end

Probs wrong thread but anyone following the seven? Or svns? 7ss? Someone help me out here.

For now I'm going with 7s. Fun stuff.

I think there’s some adjustment required for the players to understand that refs, at long last, are going to actually apply the laws around high tackles. Especially when compared to union over the last few years, it felt like you had to viciously assault someone to stand a chance of even a yellow

Scotland are going to do us.

According to my fantasy pick which only includes one Englander

Im 4 Scottish and 2 English plus sub. They are actually genuinely favourites and should win by 10

Vd Merve... Nice...

Ffs swapped out VdM for Steyn because he got me a hatful of points last year

Russell sets up a try with a kick that went backwards…

Vd Merve again

and should win by 10

...😬

Hate rugby tennis. So dull.

That was close!

England toothless in attack. Two big mistakes from Lawrence led to two tries. Otherwise, pretty even. Better team definitely won.

No Grand Slam then… ;)

Sloppy from England. Well played Scotland.

What a game in the world club championship

Down to the last play…

Edit: It's also set off Phil Gould again, which is fantastic.

Inadvertently caught the result but still keen to watch later. Anyone else lamenting removing VdM from their fantasy team🤦‍♂️

Yup had him as captain on Friday then thought I could be clever and have Frawley at 10, which meant dropping Aki, which then led to Huw Jones coming in and Duhan going. Cock up all round.

Yep absolutely regretting swapping him out. I need a big performance from France.

Dunno what the commentators are seeing/smoking. That’s a red Al day long nowadays isn’t it? Zero mitigation
Also, another awful TMO non-call. Clearly lost control into an Italian player before regathering! I can’t see why the TMOs aren’t saying anything like ‘it looks somewhere between very probably and certainly that it’s a knock-on’. Same as the Scotland non-try vs France

Maybe the TMO’s are looking through those daft glasses Galtie wears …. red , blue and white tinted !

So unlucky Italy! You could see France giving away a penalty all day trying to run it from there.

He had 6 seconds to hit that.

Why the clock doesn't reset I don't know.

Next time gadget.

Indeed!
