Dear me! The Scots show how to throw a win away in style.
France by 8 later on.

great game that fully enjoyed it

Forward pass not spotted in the build up to that try.

Saying that though, it's RU so I don't think forward passes matter.

Neither do knock-ons.

Unless you are going for an interception. Then you get penalised for being 'dangerously exciting'.

I thought the Scots were incredibly unlucky - couple of blatant forward passes in the build up for the last two Welsh tries.

What do the laws say about time-keeping as well? The clock had passed the 80 minute mark yet the Scots were still made to restart the game after the penalty. Surely if the ball is dead and time is up then that's the end?

My gripe with the 6 Nations is that the Irish always get favoritism from the Ref (only call every 4th knock-ons and straight reds get them a penalty) while the French and the Italians are penalised by being reffed in a foreign language. I'd love to see the Welsh and English being Reffed in Italian when playing in Paris!

Cipriani off to Melbourne. Must want to get out of the public eye. http://www.sportinglife.com/rugbyunion/ ... 14739.html The Rebels are thought to have a playing budget of more than £5m, with other English players also believed to be on their shopping list. They plan to play him at full back
