    @booboo thanks. Watching the replay, halftime, so think I'll have a look at what the lads think of the game so far.

    Avoided the fern because a replay at 6:30am is mint.

    14 in a row! Cool thanks

    So you come on to a rugby forum expecting not to see the result?

    @booboo easy fella, you can scroll through a rugby thread and stop at halftime, I do it for every test with no danger of the result revealed.

    The truth is, I've no grounds to beef. It's not a life changing moment, at best a fleeting irritant, and the dog loves you as she got her walk an hour earlier than she thought 😉.

    The only tiny recourse I have is appealing to how other rugby people feel, for a short moment when the result is inadvertently disclosed- it's worth a quick wee squeal.

    But perhaps the real villain here is that 14 in a row is a big "whoopdy fucken doo", and barely merits a thread with exclamation marks in the title. 🙂

    There's no animosity here mate, you just fucked up my breakfast viewing on a lame premise, you fluffybunny😉🙂

    Well done Wales!! Man, Ireland seem to be consciously uncoupling with recent form and confidence now that schmidt is leaving. A bit hard to tell exactly how much better Wales are versus Irish decline.

    Eng v Scotland looked like a cracker too! Great results for an exciting 6N this year. Adds lots of spice to the WC predictions!

    Congrats Warren, I've been a bit hot and cold on him. Less so around his coaching than his media approach. But his results over a long period of time are solid as.

    @Hooroo we've had discussions about giving away results in thread titles.

    @Siam I am almost 100% certain it was this same thread title, or a version of several years ago too....

    Best just to stay away from fern if you are watching replay. How long are we supposed to wait? Do you just give us the heads up that you've finished watching and we are good to carry on?

    I think there's value in avoiding changing thread titles for a day or so. It can be quite fun getting into the match threads on replay, and lagging the action.

    So, no harm done really, but it's a small thing the Fern could do...

    boy oh boy, can't wait to watch a replay of the Calcutta Cup match. I reckon the Scots could even snatch a draw if they tire out the English forwards and Russell has an absolute blunder.

    @Hooroo game finished 3am my time, replay 6:30 am. I don't think 3 hours for a nh game is a stretch.

    As I've said, we've discussed this before and agreed on a solution, - no results in thread titles, which people have adhered to - but sure, change the solution to one where people are encouraged to stay away from the fern. Advertisers love that!

    Personally if there has been a game I intend to watch and don't want to know the result I stay well clear of TSF until after I've watched. I can't contribute to the discussion anyway 🙂

    I'm with Siam on this - seems easy enough to do as a small courtesy. If it's not 100%, so be it, but it's not a big effort

    I've trained my eyes to only look at the thread title on the unread page as a match will often be spoiled from the comment shown on the right.

    Yup a draw was snatched because of Russell's blunder on defence in front of the posts after the hooter...
