@billy-tell Beautifully judged and executed.

Sexton threw a pearler against Wales under advantage for their first try.

Yep. Absolute bullet across the defensive line.

Another view of that Finn Russel pass

No Quarter

That's one of the best tries I've seen. The pass reminded me of playing a video game where you just throw a Hail Mary and it (unrealistically) goes to hand. Absolute thing of beauty.

It's pretty standard play for a Scottish backline these days.

My flabber is ghasted. There's an absolutely unprecedented jizzfest on the fern for Scots Rugby. My life is complete.

Wayne Barnes would've called it back for a forward pass. Even after viewing the replay.

Look at these fucking muppets. That's so not on.

Article below:

The Scottish Rugby Union has apologised after footage emerged of fans abusing England coach Eddie Jones as he travelled to Manchester following the Calcutta Cup. Jones revealed on Wednesday that his train journey from Edinburgh to Manchester -- which he made alone in standard class -- was marred by physical and verbal abuse from fans.

Drunk fan has out of line behaviour .... gets filmed.

Social media picks it up ... goes viral.

Every man and his dog offers his opinion on it. Equally split amongst into 3 types ...

This doesn't happen in our game, disgraceful, not what rugby represents, not part of our values
As a (Scotland in this case, but insert country here), I'd like to say this isn't representative of the vast majority of us, please accept our apologies
Fuck him he deserved it, look at what he says/writes has to expect retribution etc ...

And then of course fans of soccer (in this country anyway) look at it and have a good old giggle, as the haughty taughty rugby fans have long looked down on football behaviour with contempt.

All countries can say what they want, they all have their fair share of dickhead fans, and despite what many will tell you, it's not usually a tiny minority. Fans are passionate, they make mistakes and go overboard. All countries, all places. I've been spat on in Australia, sneered at in Twickenham, punched by a bok in London, verbally abused in Wales, and treated with utter contempt in Scotland. I've also witnessed plenty of AB fans being dickheads too.

The SRU shouldn't apologise, not their doing. Apart from winning of course, but who the hell should apologise for that?

@majorrage Well said Major.

Wales XV
L Williams, North, Watkin, Parkes, S Evans; Anscombe, G Davies
Smith, Dee, Francis, Hill, B Davies, Tipuric, J Davies, Faletau (capt)

Replacements:
Owens, R Evans, Lee, S Davies, Jenkins
A Davies, Patchell, Halfpenny

Wales team nnamed for Italy match in Cardiff this coming Sunday

Lots of changes.

Although Halfpenny has been great we now need to score tries
North on borrowed time. Shit against Italy and then Halfpenny / Williams on the wing for France match
Good to see Watkin in there. Owen Williams must be thinking wtf after a great Autumn
Parkes earns his place, so too Evans and Davies
Anscombe last chance saloon. Great to see Patchell on the bench not Biggar

Needed to test our reserve front row. No harder test than the Eyeties. Hopefully number one ball from our own scrum
Interesting backrow. Run them off the park

Great bench.

All to play for. High tempo, high scores.

I'm happy

Hahahaha, alternatively he's the AB fan being a dickhead he's referring to so has deserved all of that.

That's pretty feral from a bunch of Scottish Rugby fans who seem on the whole to be a bunch of very polite snowflakes.
