THey even suggested Scotland had 3 minutes to get a drop goal to win the match - when they got to 4 points behind.

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.

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.
