-
Lots of penalties so far
-
I wish Sam Cane, Ardie would "clarify" each penalty the way Ireland do

I don't really understand not taking the easy 3 points there.
They need 4 tries and win to go.
Not true.
If Scotland win by 8 points without a BP then they and Ireland are both on 14 points. SA go through on 15 and then Scotland go through having beaten Ireland.
Winning and denying Ireland any BP is enough.
Unlikely to beat them by 8 going for 3 though.

@Mattasaurus professional time wasting
-
Scotland need points
-
Scotland looking clueless on attack, solid defense for Ireland -- Scotland need to straighten their attack
-
@Mattasaurus playing like they are 5 down in the 79th minute.
Ireland very good at moving slowly atbevrrynruck.

What is it with this time-wasting?

What is it about Ireland that allows them to walk around the side of breakdowns, or just plain enter from where the opposition halfback should be?
I think they often start from hindmost but then do every thing they can to end up in front of the ball or disrupt the ruck.

@Tordah they are excellent at pushing the limit across the board...at rucks, taking players out ahead of the ball carrier and ahead of the ruck, thier d line that is always just ahead of the off side line...thier superb discipline makes it all appear legit

If Scotland win and Ireland no BP then don’t the scots go through? Both on 14 and first decider is the match winner?
So why not take the 3?
Probably think it’s harder to stay 8 points in front then score 4 tries perhaps. But yes scoreboard pressure makes more sense.
