    The only surprise for me is that it took so long for Scotland to chalk up the win. In the RWC I though Scotland were magnificent & unjustly robbed. And a lot of very close tests since.
    Of course Scotland deserved to beat Wales, but that doesnt stop me from being disappointed.

    & Eddie Jones is a *!

    Not a league fan, mate. Just can't get into it!

    Heading off the stadium in 20, hoping the standard is decent and the weather holds out!:50:

    Should be a decent standard, Brumbies were a decent team two seasons ago.

    Also can't get into RL - one phase rugby :99:

    I coach kids how to ruck, maul, scrum & lineout - and there's none of that. It's a bigger sport in Australia than union though.

    Union is very much the 5th cab in the rank as far as team sports in Aus are concerned.

    Very entertaining game, lads. Struck by how different the fans are to Irish ones! The handling and passing was also far superior to Pro 12 stuff.

    Yeah, that whole respecting the kicker thing for conversions and penalties doesn't really exist down here. The opposite does.

    Fancy us to edge past the Welsh and fancy the Scots to put up a good fight, but ultimately lose to England!
