    Fantastic team performance from Scotland.
    I really had a good feeling about today. I thought if we actually played to our ability we could get the win but wasn’t sure what kind of performance we would get today.

    Everyone was good but Huw Jones was immense as usual. Russell and Barclay outstanding as well. Not one player didn’t put in a shift.

    Really enjoy going down to the rugby but my mate said it was £300 for a ticket on viagogo :88:

    Would love just to be in Edinburgh this weekend though after that result.

    On a side note, Football needs to take a leaf out of Rugby officiating. The majority of refs have played the sport at the top level so right there they have a massive advantage.

    Only the captain can talk to the ref would help massively so you don't have 12 players surrounding them. Footballers really are overpaid arseholes aren't they :56:

    Gutted Scotland didn’t get the extra try to get the bonus point. That would have put us joint second with England.

    Ireland is going to be a tough game but if we put in a performance like that I am confident we can get a good result.

    This Scotland team has a lot of talent in it. I am confident we will give any team a game on our day. We played well against the All Blacks recently and could have easily won the game.

    It’s in Dublin is it not? I’d be surprised if Scotland managed to get a result there!

    Honestly cant beat a weekend at the Rugby, had some cracking trips over the years. Cardiff is brilliant for the rugby with the main street being next to the stadium! Will always get to one game each Championship.

    Yeah i would believe it, viagogo is a joke. Local rugby clubs are normally good places to get tickets from if you happen to go to yours.

    Huw Jones sensational. His record in internationals against the very best is second to none.

    Loved the way that fud brown didnt have the strength to tackle him properly when he scored his try. An absolute grade A roaster he is.

    Scotia while I wouldn't claim this to be scientific but I have yet to meet/hear of a member of the tartan army who voted no. Rugby am not so sure about, I do know one who voted no from the group I usually attend Scotland games with but that's it. So I don't think they are, in general, hypocrites.

    I love it when Scotland beat England at something. We could beat them at chess and folk would still buzz off it. :56:
