I thought Scotland got a bit complacent in the second half-but was always going to win.

Scotland will give it a go in Paris scoring a few tries but the French will score quite a few more. Can you imagine the scenario if we did win possibly handing the Championship to you know who bonzo...which would be the biggest travesty of all time :roll:

Scotland 35 29 Wales

The annoying thing is Brian, Finn was 5/5 on conversations yesterday if he had converted 1 at Twickenham we would be going to Paris for a championship decider.....small margins.

I thought there would be more punditry discussion around the referee's baffling interference in Russell's match-deciding conversion - not ony making him move the ball mid-prep 4 metres for a more difficult kick, but not suspending the shot clock either, so it's not surprising that Russell so very clearly snatched at it.

Totally agree Exile, I did question this decision and the one awarding England their try. It's done now and we can't go back. Crying, spilt milk etc.

As a non-rugby person, I'm currently watching Wales versus England, and note that we have a woman, albeit a Scots woman, Hollie Davidson, running the line. Is this common in Rugby Union?

I don't think it's very common PT even in club rugby.

Very disappointing tournament with more than our fair share of decisions going against us. In my eyes that was definitely a red card tonight.
On the plus side some of our running rugby has been brilliant (over 1000m tonight)just need to convert chances. France are a class act and we ran them ragged at times. Their 7 forwards on the bench is the game changer. If only we had that depth of squad.
