Not sure what you mean, no one is defending a boo of a kick. Again I apologies if I have the wrong moment of the game, it's similar to playing - that's why you watch it back, you don't see as much watching from home. But I would imagine any boos were for the decision before - not the kick, but...

On the back of the try? Well yeah. I genuinely might be forgetting as I'm pished, but if that was on the back of the try from Hogg being injured. I don't need salt. I certainly don't need potatoes either.

Too many posts here to catch up on so I'm going with my unpopular opinion. I did say I expect Ireland to win but in all the years I've been going to Murrayfield (yes I know you miss stuff in person), I've never come away thinking the game was due to the ref. There was a lot of boos and from...

I'm quite surprised many think France might be able to do enough to win. I get the argument of the first 30-40 minutes of the Welsh game - IF they could keep that up for 80 minutes but some of the players could barely walk at half time. Atonio looked like he just got out of bed at half time. I...

Nel is a loss but the team have played without him often enough. I hope I'm right but I still think it will be a tight game or a joke. If Russell doesn't do anything daft and Gray is actually fit, with Strauss adding some beef to the pack I don't think it's as much of a push over as some think...

Hastings has played 15 if they really needed, but he's not in this squad so I guess it doesn't matter. I think P Horne's performances for Scotland have improved in recent years. Funnily enough both Horne and Johnson picked up 'knocks' going into the 6N camp, that's how bad the unjury lists were...

Maitland would have been first choice last week so it's not a massive surprise to pick the more experienced player in arguably Scotland's most important game. As in, we know Scotland play better at home so an away win at Twickenham is far less likely than beating Ireland at Murrayfield. A win...

I don't think it's particularly bad what's been said. Various outlets have run with "Hogg says Scotland can/will win the 6 Nations". All I've read from players is the usual - we think can win, we've been improving, we know there's still a lot to do etc. If the players came out saying "Win the...

I haven't seen any Scottish media or Scots in general being anything but realistic. Anyway, my prediction is Scotland by at least 30...

Pressure is on Ireland though, I mean they're already relying on the Welsh beating England if they're to win (okay not quite true but the odds are stacked against France, Italy and Scotland beating them). Sure they'll be fired up coming off a loss at home but they also know they can lose at...

I think my last order was: Ireland England Wales Scotland France Italy All I'd be willing to switch so far is England top and Ireland 2nd. Scotland for whatever reason just stopped playing, I don't think this was fitness or just being a mess like France, I think they just stuck it in neutral...

I'm curious if the Scotland game is seen by the French as most nations see Italy - something they assume they'll win. Scotland at home they always win, if France lose to Scotland for the first time at home, what will the reaction be? I was kind of shocked at how empty some of the stadium (Stade...

Deadline was today unfortunately, I did have historical odds for the game's outcome that I converted to a percentage - taken from https://www.oddsportal.com/rugby-union/europe/six-nations-2018/results/

The official one gives players ratings and you have budget which is similar. The Telegraph one is on value but doesn't restrict how many players from a single team you can have.

I'm going Scotland by 20.

Scotland team announced. Is Maitland injured? If not that does surprise me.

I don't seem to be able to edit that now, I was only listening in the background and now realise they speak about possible promotion for 10 seconds.

They briefly speak about it here ~38 minutes in if anyone needs any sleeping material.

Looks like promotion to and from 6N is being discussed and the Rugby Championship is expanding to include Fiji and Japan with the two tournaments having some kind of final. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/six-nations-relegation-promotion-planned-15752049

I too can't say I'm super clued up on the French players but there was one or two surprises for me. I know he gets a hard time but I still expected Bastareaud to be there.
