Three Six Nations games were played this weekend, two Saturday afternoon and evening and one on Sunday. Unfortunately the Saturday games overlaped with two Super Rugby games.

Hopefully, the Scotland/Ireland match, up next, will be a fitting end to a fitting end to some good 6N rugby
How I’d love to be at Murrayfield right now! Awesome day, and not too chilly
Players coming out for the anthems. Gooooo Scotland
More spine tingling anthems
Great to see such a crowd
Game on
Game ON!
Afternoon all…
Few fumbles to start. Scrum Scotland
Slow posting again today
Scrum ends in free kick to Ireland
Hogg spills the high kick, and Ireland scrum
160 @ Just For Kicks:
No slow posting here…
Good scrum Scotland. Ends in a penalty to them.
Good mauling by Scotland
But they mess it up with a bit of dirty play, and penalty Ireland
165 @ Just For Kicks:
Faster now?
Ireland should take this… well so says my Bru
Ireland looking good. Moving that ball nicely now, grubber thwarted and into touch
Defence let Scotland down. Ireland 2m out
Ireland very close now…
Advantage played to Ireland, and we have the penalty
Scotland being penalised for every rule in the book!!! Ireland opt for the line out
Ireland chose to go for touch… Scotland steals the lineout and then gets a relieving penalty on their own 5m line
Good defence by Scotland sees them steal the ball, and gain the penalty, which allows them to get out of their danger zone
Marshall breaks through again… and then throws a wayward last pass… golden opportunity squandered.
Huge holes in Scotland defence. Shocked Marshall so much, he just threw ball away!
Second good Scotland scrum. They certainly have come on in leaps and bounds in this area since last year
Scotland penalty… Ireland dominating the ball and possession and territory so far
Good Scotland pressure, but over zealousness ends in Ireland penalty
