Damn wi-fi giving me issues. Suppose that’s what happens when I “procure” it from neighbouring hotels without permission.

Nice try that was. Well done Scotland.

Again an Ireland scrum penalty… and Scotland get a talking to.

This time the penalty is against the Scotland tighthead prop for collapsing the scrum.

Looks to me like Ireland are using obstructive runners quite a bit

grootblousmile on 4 February 2017 at 4:48 pm

Scotland breakdown penalty… holding on, on the ground.

@ grootblousmile:
#33 just heard commentator here saying Laidlaw may have had a point there about dodgy Ireland engagement
37

40

GoBokkeAndIreland on 4 February 2017 at 4:50 pm

WOW! Nice running. Good try.

I think Ireland are being a bit . . . sneaky. But its not gona help at all if Scotland run and get through there defense like this!

Bullscot on 4 February 2017 at 4:50 pm

Scotland 5m lineout…
50

Bullscot on 4 February 2017 at 4:57 pm

Concerned about Richie Gray looked like he was struggling a bit beyond that ruck
51

Bullscot on 4 February 2017 at 4:57 pm

grootblousmile on 4 February 2017 at 4:57 pm

GoBokkeAndIreland on 4 February 2017 at 5:01 pm

This game is def very enjoyable and exciting. BUT def not going the way I thought it would, thus far.
57

grootblousmile on 4 February 2017 at 5:02 pm
