    Crazy Kinghorn isn’t even a ten? Where’s Hastings?

    Scotland will be aiming to finish the season on a high. The confidence to bench a player like Russell definitely reflects this.

    I think a 60 point margin is definitely on the cards.

    Yeah seems about right, though Ireland only scored 4 tries against 14 man Eng, so maybe they’ll only win by 40 ish. But 40-60 to Ireland does seem right

    Why is this a surprise?

    Russell has been 5/10 at best

    Kinghorn is the surprise. Hastings a surer bet imo

    Obviously not, as rank outsider Kinghorn is preferred

    14-5 HT. Scotland starting well, lots of possession. Ireland looking a bit more likely to score when they have the ball.

    Hogg is SO ball greedy. 3 on 1 and goes himself. Try wouldn’t have counted anyway.

    Would have counted after all. So poor.

    Bonus point win for Ireland in what was not a great performance again, but it seems not to matter, 26-5. Over to France now to decide the championship. Come on England!!

    Ireland actually manage to defend the Raeburn Shield in this match which nobody has managed in the last 8 matches!

    Don’t come here with your bullshit talk @profitius the mighty Scots lit up the tournament by beating England which basically made them the envy of the whole Six nations.

    Anything else was a bonus, they’ll still be singing on the streets of Edinburgh after that performance.

    By my recollection this win over the Scots makes Ireland the Triple Crown Winners.

    Scotland's lack of brain can be summed by the scrum penalty in the 67th minute.

    Just outside their attacking 22.
    Win the penalty.
    Reserve scrum half quick tap. 🙄
    Coach killer.
