Hogg’s chin playing number 16 for Scotland!

Pretty Even game by the end of a frenetic half
Proper nail biter.
Perhaps the way to make modern rugby more exciting is to grease the ball

Not a fan of Gibson-Park…he makes too many mistakes and poor game management
Feels like Ireland are in charge now though… 
Ireland are winning the collisions. In attack this is giving them better ruck speed, and in defence they’re slowing down the Scottish ruck. Scotland need to up the intensity.
It might help if Scotland actualy managed to win a lineout

Great try!
Poor defending from Ireland
What a game 
Another fun one!
Hard call when you know if you keep infringing the ref is going to give a penalty try
That was referring to Scotlands previous try Kev

Great game, after the waste of time which was Wales v Italy we had a great couple of games with Eng v Fra and Sco v Ire
A most entertaining game…Ireland just didn’t look like themselves for much of the game with Scotland keeping the ball in hand which was nice to see…
Just watched an excellent performance from Scotland in which they handed out a bit of a battering to poor Italy…exciting backs play and slick ball handling… The Hog Meister had a great game and Van der Merwe is just a monster…
Its IMHO that they would have beaten Wales at Murryfield if not for going down to 14 men

Scotland were good, but they were flattered by Italy being, erm, Italy.
Italy have taken over from Scotland as being the whipping boys of the tournament. I keep thinking it’s time for a relegation/promotion scheme for the 6th place team. The question for me is it a European or NH tournament?
If just European then it would probably be Italy, Georgia and Spain and maybe Russia regularly competing, but if you opened it up to NH then you could potentially have the likes of Japan and the US in the mix.
