ABs v Scotland

[No Quarter]

@Nepia if WR are going to suddenly change the way this is being ruled it'd be great if they could actually inform the viewing public! Otherwise controversy ensues...

I don't think they even told people initially when they first started being anal about it.

The collision with Hogg in the air was never a card, never in a month of Sundays.

However, there were a few repeated penalties as we put pressure on and I don't think seven or eight cards would have been unwarranted - Cane himself should have had at least four ABs binned for the stuff he was getting up to

@no-quarter That wasn't a yellow on Naholo, the French XV match established a new precedent. Plus, they go there in the end with the right decision I think, there were clear mitigating circumstances.

Surprised they didn't penalise the Jock running obstruction aftr precedent mid-week

@booboo "Jock"

really?

Porridge Wog?

@booboo

Colonial?

Can't whinge about the ref. Thought he was ok overall....now Australia on the other hand...
Cane's YC was pretty cynical.
Just wish we would stop doing the dumb stuff. Naholo has a history of tackling players in mid-air. He should be taken aside and given a coaching clinic. Why does he persist in doing this shit? Shag have a word FFS.

@talisker

Genuine question: is that an issue?

Is standard term for Scotsman here (like Boer, Frog, Paddy, Pom).

On the replay it actually looked like Cane got pushed over by another AB and then sealing off the ball. Crockett's was stupid, really stupid, the 9 hadn't even really done that stupid NH roll the ball thing they do that refs let them get away with.

It would take a lot longer to answer properly than half past two on a Sunday morning allows.
The short answer is that using "Jock" isn't cool

I prefer it to "Sweaty" that some of the Poms use.

I laughed at Jegga's term Porridge Wog

Righto. I'll look for a suitable alternative

[Talisker]

@booboo

I guess you are okay with "Kiwi"

We only have derogatory shite from the English, such as Sweaty or Jock, that is why I object to it

I think we named ourselves that

[Talisker]

@booboo
Hence you (plural) being fine with it - we didn't choose those nicknames for Scots

[Crash]

@talisker most people don't choose their nickname?

[Talisker]

@booboo

I don't want to get too ott about it all, I just don't want to be defined by English people, that's all

[Talisker]

@crash
True, but you can choose to accept it or you can choose to reject it

I'm not going to tug a forelock
