119 @ superBul:
I’ve seen the mountain bike part, but not the Vaceline part.
Schalla was nog altyd ‘n toughie!
@ grootblousmile:When does Ohnny become just …Y?
Hnny misses a sitter of a Drop Goal, from smack bang in front
124 @ Just For Kicks:
He’s down to Hnny now already…
Tyndal fended off too often
Penalty England, holding on, on the ground.
Hnny goes for touch
This match is a reflection of Scottish – English history. The Scots come out firing and drive the English back but then the English slowly grind them down until the Scots are forced to surrender.
@ Puma:
Now Puma, don’t bring your kilt and sporran nonsense to RT!! 😆
@ grootblousmile:

England looks much better but Scotland like a Bulldog , holding on. This will be a epic game AGAIN
If Hnny had had his kicking boots on, this match would have been much different.
Defensive scrum for England, deep in their 22
Sorry, Scotland ball… but they are struggling in the scrums
Take back what I said about the Pom scrum
