| Almost forgot about the national Rugby side's momentum. Just watching as they go 14-0 up again Ireland - 2 tries and converted kicks. |

| Nearly blew it 21-8 up to 21-22 behind with about 8 minutes left. Good win in the end |

Brilliant, took panache at the start then sheer guts at the end to snatch victory from the jawsof defeat.

| Decent game against Wales today. I thought it was game over when we went behind, because they are so fast in attack - but no - we have the comeback! Rovers take note! |

Wonder what the origin of the Calcutta Cup is - great to win it but wonder what sort of colonial stuff it dates back to?

| It was really refreshing to hear Eddie Jones - and some English commentators giving Scotland honest and genuine praise without excuses. |

I doubt anything that Jones says is genuine.
Some result for the Scots though.
