Scotland v England

[Crucial]

I know the questions are dumb but fuck that was a pile of non answers from the England captain in the post match.

[Bones]

Nice one Scotland.

Fucking terrible BBC - did I just hear that vapid fluffybunny Sonia?

[MN5]

Never in doubt, this is their year

Cowan-Dickie can own that loss. What a brain fart

All credit to Scotland, but two brain farts cost England that match. Cowan-Dickie knocking it out and Eddie Jones not getting Jamie George on to throw into the line-out.

He’ll never have to buy a beer in Scotland ever again

Can't imagine many Scots buying beers for anyone else, especially not an Englishman.

Can't see many Scots buying beers for anyone else, especially not English men.

Tired old cliche.
I have spent many an afternoon in the pub in Scotland with no evidence of that being the case. In fact in many places you end up with a row of drams in front of you as punters spend their change on the drop of the day bowser and the barman distributes them.
Serious drinkers are the Scots.

@crucial My experience too. 😉 To be fair, almost everywhere that plays Rugby you're going to find fantastic hospitality off the field.

But preferably when someone else is paying for them.

What she didn't realise was that most of the Scots Rugby team are Unionists so some of them pissed in there first.

I don’t follow international politics, in fact I barely follow NZ politics, but I know this is funny so I’ll give it an upvote.

I’m assuming this is as cringy as all the times John Key went and had beers with the ABs after the game ?

No. Tight as anything. Agrees by my Scottish friends too.

Really good match. England lost it more than the jocks won.

I've heard the Jocks are great hosts after a Calcutta Cup.

[Bovidae]

Good that O'Keeffe said he wasn't going to guess and award a scrum penalty at the end. I was worried that he'd still be reseting the scrum now.

It's a great night out in Edinburgh after any game (including those against the English). Years of learning to be gracious losers.

[Dan54]

Geez I enjoyed that game. The Poms would be disappointed, they had the first 60 minutes seemingly tied up, but Scots wouldn't give up. Another very good reason to watch rugby!

Copper wire was invented by two Scotsmen fighting over a penny so the legend goes.

It is a bit of a harsh cliche though, Indians and Asians are much tighter with their money

@nzzp I didn't have a problem with it once I saw it and the correct call was made.

4 minutes to set a scrum however....

Nah. Bloke goes up in the air to catch a cross kick, gets it wrong/is slightly impeded and knocks it on. Bollocks to that result. When they were going to the TMO, I thought hang on that's a bit unfair, the Jock was going for the ball and didn't really impact things, this is bullshit and then fuck me it goes the other way. PT and a yellow. That was complete bollocks. Oh and only a penalty five minute later for a dangerous neck roll.

Ben O'Keefe is a poor ref and not helped by his reliance on third officials.

That’s just wrong. He made zero attempt to catch, knocked it forward on purpose.

Your problem is with the rules, not the ref.

(Need a wash now)
