2018 Six Nations

the opposite, SH rugby :erm:

European rugby is strong! Look how we get schooled on EOYT's. Look at how the Aussies got hammered by England and Scotland. The Scotland/NZ game last year was sensational!!! Great game of rugby as well as the Lions tour to NZ. Phenomenal rugby all round!!

SH rugby is sick at the moment, with the exception of NZ. Australia are battling to rebuild a competent squad and SA, over the last 3-4 seasons, has dished up some real rubbish.

I reckon if you had to pick 6 international teams from each hemisphere to compete in a North vs South tournament, the North would probably win 4/6...

EDIT: I'm not sure I would describe it as boring. Different, sure, look at the playing conditions up North.

Pretty competitive game overall. England under Jones are tough as hell.

 

[Solitude]

5 minutes in and the Scots still don't look like the same team as last year.

 

[Mortymoose]

What has happened to Scotland?

 

[Mortymoose]

Miss the days of Big Gav'

 

[Solitude]

I've got money on the Scots winning this game so I hope they wake up.

 

[Solitude]

Yay! It looks like it's going to be a high scoring game.

 

[Mortymoose]

At least no whitewash now...

 

[Solitude]

At least no whitewash now...

I'm glad that there's someone else here watching the game.

 

[Agent_Smith]

That Teddy Thomas looks like a real handful...

 

[Solitude]

That Teddy Thomas looks like a real handful...

He looks like a quality player. Even falling back and helping on the other wing's side in defence.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Scotland need to pull finger and do it quickly.

 

[Spizz]

That's more like it.

The season starts now

 

[Mortymoose]

You beauty!!!

 

[Agent_Smith]

Much better! Huw Jones. Must be that WP influence...

/runs

 

[Solitude]

You mentioned Teddy and then he scored a try. Then you mentioned Scotland and they scored a try. Please keep on mentioning Scotland.

 

[Agent_Smith]

France playing helter skelter rugby here. Scotland with all the momentum now

 

[Mortymoose]

70 minutes and Ecosse in the lead!

 

[Solitude]

Whew that's relief!

 

[Agent_Smith]

Gritty and determined win, but France didn't help themselves with their second half performance. They won't be scaring England or Ireland with that performance, but it was a credible Scottish victory after last week's hammering.
