    Scots trying their hardest to lose this. Don't think they have enough to hold out.

    I'd agree save Wales seem to be trying even harder...

    Scotland are good for the first time in probably a million years

    Hogg....I don't like the bloke but that was utterly beautiful. Nailed on Lions 15.

    Long way back for Wales now. Definitely the best result for us if Scotland win.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,150 ✭✭✭✭LuckyGent88


    That was an absolute unbelievable pass from Russell and then cracking pass on by hogg


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 161 ✭✭BobCobb


    That'll do, Hogg. That'll do

    What a try.

    There's a kind if "freshness" about Scotland that's quite pleasant to watch.

    I take that back

    If they see this out, this is a really good result for Ireland.

    Welsh essentially out of the running for our visit to Cardiff and Scotland going to London with a spring in their step and an outside chance.

    Whoop

    Scotland have really improved. They used to have a massive problem scoring tries. I'm happy for their fans.

    There's only one thing for them to do.

    Ditch their coach.

    Gatland sitting there wondering how will he justify taking 15 Welshmen on tour now

    I'm confused by the commentator saying he was offended that someone said Scotland are a mid table team.....surely that's a compliment if anything as they normally finish last or second last :confused:

    Hogg nailing down the Lions 15 jersey I think. Lovely player to watch

    Hmmm. There were a number of posters on this forum giving out about Ireland losing to a "rubbish" Scotland. I would call that arrogance.

    Sure Scotland are somewhat limited but they make the most of what they have. Barring me putting on the hex they will be 2 from 3.

    Bit harsh there. Straight into his own man, nearly always given as a scrum to the defending team rather than a penalty unless the guy stepped in front of a tackler.


  • Posts: 20,606 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Scottish commentator showing just how big the chip on his shoulder is. It's almost as if Scotland haven't been awful for over a decade.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 194 ✭✭kittyeater102


    Who is the co-commentator on rte ? Has a real chip on his shoulder about teams writing off Scotland

    Can Scotland beat England and win the triple crown ???


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    Delighted for Scotland here. Great fans, a lovely attacking team through the likes of Hogg and Seymour and they're always good to conceded a few tries. Hope they beat England too.

    I wouldn't call it arrogance at all. They are better this year. They've been "better" every year for five years no. This is the first time it's actually been true.

    I suspected at the time it was more a case of Scotland being good than Ireland being bad on opening weekend... Confirmed now I think.

    How well would Moriarty have to play to stay on the field?

    Defensively, he's seven kinds of sh1te though. :(
