so despite everything going to hell in a handbasket over there, it's suddenly the 6N this weekend?
take away the crowds and the travelling fans, and all you are left with is the dire rugby.

We’ll see
Dire is better than none, and beggars can’t be choosers

I'll watch at least one game

Yeah, I struggle to be excited about it this year. Although having said that, England vs Scotland in 2019 is one of the best games I've seen.

I would quite happily watch/listen to one of those alternative-commentary youtube streams type things, with Nigel Owens watching the game, and criticising the ref (and/or the commentators calls on the ref)

This is not in the least bit surprising. Scotland and exciting Rugby go together like Bacon and Eggs.

Absolutely. That pick up by Dan which led to Mils' try was awesome too.

because Dan is a god. just watch that split second of play. picks a rolling ball off his bootlaces, immediately jinks off the right to attract defenders, and then throws a very late pass as he's being hit that puts SBW in the perfect spot to draw 2 players. All off incredibly quick ruck ball, so with zero time for planning.
And outside him everyone had their depth perfect to run on to the ball.
And off a scrubbed pass from the ruck
Maybe our problems now are Smith's pass is too perfect?

Josh Adams out of the first two tests because he broke WRU and Welsh Government rules when he went to a family gender reveal party over the weekend.
Fucking idiot

@MiketheSnow deserves that for going to a gender reveal party under covid restrictions or not!

I'm very pleased with that Englad side, less so with Scotland. That is a strong Scots side.
