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)

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.

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

Depends on their opposition surely?

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.

England as expected. Much stronger Scots bench than in recent times. Anyone know if Hill packs down LH or TH? If the former English scrum could be vulnerable.

@Catogrande said in NH International Rugby:
@pakman Nel you mean? He's a TH so would likely figure against Obano who is extremely strong and has been pulling up trees for Bath. No real international experience though. Could be a steep learning curve for him.
RWC final showed Itoje is big weakness if packing on TH side. With England having Bokkie scrum coach one has to assume they'd be aware of that.
Brookes has been beasting LHs at Wasps, but seems to be on outer.

I'm finding Scotland the team I go out of my way to watch.
Can be frustrating as they often fuck things up, but admire their ambition and commitment to fast, flowing Rugby
