Proper test 👌🏻 Roll on next RWC with that Frog team at home... They are going to be tough to beat.

We'll see next week

Glad we didn't play that England

Youngs could easily have played himself in to the Lions

Another thought, how many of that French team had covid a few weeks ago? Can't be good for your conditioning

Well Dupont looked a much better player than his previous effort (maybe he already had it then).

Steven Harris

This South African forward pack is going well 😂

Conditioning is one thing. Not having played for a month is another.

Yeah, we can all remember pre-season training, thinking you're quite fit and then that first game of the season. There's fit and then there's match fit. Plus of course perhaps not being right on the button mentally.

Come on Scotland, we know you were a bunch of fluffybunnies at the last world cup but that was a temporary thing unlike Ireland, let's see you show you've stepped up a level.

BBC with the crowd turned up so loud, you can't hear the commentators or ref whenever something good happens 🙄

Ireland start fast, leading 8-3.

Still 8-3. Mostly Ireland with territory and possession. Hamish Watson keeping Scotland in this.

Stuart Hogg has been excellent again - probbly no.1 fullback in rugby ATM.

Highlight of the game so far for me was Stuart Hogg clattering Jonny Sexton. Beautiful!

Barrett eat your heart out.

sparky

It's childish, I know, but when something bad happens ton Sexton on a rugby field, I feel warm all over.

Sexton with a penalty. Scotland 10 Ireland 11.

I was pretty astounded that it sounds like people still consider him the starting lions 10 in the pre game! Sounds like a shit lions team.
