THey even suggested Scotland had 3 minutes to get a drop goal to win the match - when they got to 4 points behind. :roll:
I had ryle Nugent and Dewi Morris. At least there's no studio pundits.
Can I come out from behind the sofa yet?

I thought it was a knock-on by Scotland.

Anyone think Finn Russell could just as easily have been sin-binned (or worse) for leading with a stiff forearm when the clash of heads happened? Byrne's tecknique was bizarre, but maybe his reaction was protecting himself from being beheaded by an elbow or forearm?
If he'd gone in lower, he'd have been straight into Russell's fend. But hey, protection from head injuries is only for ball carriers.
So, those rules don't apply in Weemen's rugby then? :scratch:
I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right

After Wales finishing bottom of the 6N and Georgia winning the Rugby Europe Championship again, Georgia are calling Wales out for a potential double header of games home and away this Autumn.

I assume there's no absolutely possibility of a promotion / relegation thing.

Wales should tell them to check the score in the World Cup.

An official system, I would say two hopes Bob and No. An expansion of the tournament unlikely also. Best the likes of Georgia can aim for imo is unofficial games like the one they are proposing.

Indeed, Neill. It would be earth shattering if promo/rel was on offer.

Interesting openness about the financing and management of Scottish international rugby
