Article: The Original Rugby Championship - Six Nations 2016
-
Irish Rugby is going backwards fast. Their decline is showing how important BOD and POC were to them.

<p>can I have that 80 minutes of my life back. watching paint dry would have more highlights</p>
-
<p>Schmidt got shown up for his conservative selection policy in the backs. He ain't cutting the mustard as a selector at the moment. Pretty dire game over all.</p>

<p>Maybe Schmidt will spot it for the next match</p> -
Have to say, the Welsh crowd in full voice beats any fucking anthem, dirge, haka, etc into the hapenny place.
-
PS. Yes to all the above comments. Irish rugby = shit at the moment.
-
<p>is the welsh half back offside from the kick?</p>
-
<p>better rugby in the first 12 minutes of this game than there was in the full 80 of the last game.</p>
-
Have to say Greg Laidlaw is a joy to watch when he gets going.

I'm not an expert on scrummaging but you have to wonder if the crooked feed is actually causing a lot of resets. <br><br>
Would strict enforcement of straight feeds force both sides to focus on what the scrum is meant to be about? -
Can we have a good 6 nations game please? One that don't send you to sleep<br><br><br>

<p>Got very lucky there.</p>

<p>Played for 15 mins and won.</p>

<p>Scotland should be kicking themselves, not the ball aimlessly.</p> -
<p>Hopefully when North watches the tape back the penny will drop that he's far more dangerous going round players rather than through them.</p>

<p>Nichol and Guscott can fuck right off.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If a game is lost because of something that happened in the first 5 mins, then the game of rugby is broken.</p>

<p>It's not. The Scottish defence and tactics are.</p> -
Enjoyable match. Much more attack by both sides albeit in better conditions.<br><br>
Scotland are crucified by their front row: Ford a lottery at the line-out, and average scrummaging props who are a liability in open play.<br><br>
There are definitely some handy Lions tourists among the Scottish side though. -

<p>It would force a hooker to hook. This is one of the reasons why Tom Youngs got dropped. The only reason a half back puts the ball in crocked is because his hooker is weak in this area and most likely he has never learn how to hook.</p> -
I enjoyed the Wales-Scotland game. The best of the 6 Nations so far by some distance. Enclosed stadiums make sense in Northern Europe in February. Perhaps the other team need to copy the Welsh lead and build roofs over their stadiums?<br><br>
I thought Roberts, Biggar and Chateris for Wales played very well, as did Greg Laidlaw and Duncan Taylor for Scotland. All will be involved in next year's Lions tour to NZ I am sure. Scotland's weakness at set piece was there undoing. -

Gareth Davies was in front of Biggar when he kicked in the build up to Davies' try after 6 minutes. The try went to the TMO who said it was okay, thinking he had been asked about a possible knock on.<br><br>
Guscott, Inverdale and Nichol had lots of fun slagging off the TMO and boasting about how many camera angles they had.
