I’m a ‘football’ man, never played rugby, don’t understand the rules, but what a sporting contest that was! Crunching bodily contact, somebody’s nose accidentally “re-arranged” (a lovely phrase from the commentator); blood dripping from ears, noses and mouths, and yet no lashing out at an opponent, no ‘diving,’ no phoney screams to gain an unfair advantage, no dissent shown to the referee, great sportsmanship, and what a finish. Wow!
Football could learn a lot!
Just another sublime post from Penny Tray.
Thanks

I could not agree more! Rewatched the game yesterday and I got goosebumps!
What are all of your thoughts regarding the games this autumn?
Scotland v Tonga
Scotland v Australia
Scotland v South Africa
Scotland v Japan
Can't wait for them!

We will beat Tonga.
We should beat Japan.
We could beat Australia.

But I have been wrong before

Heard on the TV that Italy would soon be put out of the 6 nations tournament in favour of Georgia. Has anyone else heard this news?

Aye Jean, it's been talked about for the past few years. The bottom team in the 6 nations to go into a playoff with the top other "European team" which will be Georgia.

Today's Autumn international result.
Scotland 15 13 Australia
Not the best game to watch...but a good victory over a team ranked 3 in the World.

Well beaten today by the Saffas, they just grind you down. Scotland were 2 points up at half time but ended losing by 15. SA are not world champions for nothing.
