Re: Scotland v Italy thread
All 3 pundits went for Scotland, so we're losing by at least 10.

It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Re: Scotland v Italy thread
I think keeping it simple with possession on the halfway line at 2 mins on the clock would make a lot more sense...

Is the prop allowed to put his hand on the ground like that?

Scrum did well. Italy did very well to keep that upright and get the ball out - it was retreating pretty rapidly.

Holy crap. Not often you see Italy get done like that in the scrum.

6 mins on the clock and we can already see how this is going to go...

Jesus... We just can't help but put ourselves under pressure. Penas on half way leads to a line out in our own 22.

Oh look. Having a supporting runner turns out to be useful!
We've been thoroughly second best so I'm happy with that. Wilson in at 8 is just laughably predictable. Who is now on the bench? Another 7 maybe?
I love Russell, but I have never, ever seen a 10 miss touch so often. We turned (what would have been) a Scotland lineout on their 22 to an Italy lineout on our 5.

Great try and now we're making an absolute nuisance of ourselves at ruck time.
Clever kick from Russell.
