Skinner crocked - baws.

Strauss on for Skinner

Kinghorn it is

Did you pick him?

by Eejit Sat 02 Feb 2019, 2:40 pm

What a place to knock on.

by **BigGee** Sat 02 Feb 2019, 2:40 pm

Another well worked try

Dare I say it, we are playing quite well!

by **BigGee** Sat 02 Feb 2019, 2:41 pm

12-3 Scotland

Sorry about the Seymour tip!! Hope you ignored me...

by Eejit Sat 02 Feb 2019, 2:41 pm

Good team try and nice finish for King Blairhorn.

by Duty281 Sat 02 Feb 2019, 2:41 pm

Looks like yet another Six Nations where Italy are going to take five defeats.

by Maine man Sat 02 Feb 2019, 2:45 pm

Was the Russell pass before Hogg passed to Kinghorn look forward to anyone else?

by Eejit Sat 02 Feb 2019, 2:46 pm

Allan doesn't look too good.

by **BigGee** Sat 02 Feb 2019, 2:49 pm

That was a howling pass by Shuggy

Johnson has looked really good though

by **RDW** Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:01 pm

Really flat atmosphere - all Scotland but lacking intensity. Italy flopping all over the rucks.

Johnson doing really well.

by **BigGee** Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:02 pm

Well we totally dominated that half

Maybe a little disappointed to be only 9 points in front. You wonder what it has taken out of Italy though. One more score could take it away from them though

by **RiscaGame** Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:06 pm

Parisse won a penalty for putting his hands on the floor. Poor reffing. Not the first time Italy have won one either.

by maestegmafia Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:07 pm

Great first half by the Scots

Hope to see more of the same in the second half

by **George Carlin** Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:07 pm

Just calculated that 1 x Parisse = 5.74 Josh Strausses

Slightly suspect - worth a look at least ...

by **George Carlin** Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:12 pm

What happened to Skinner? I didn’t see it.

You do feel like we have the backline to dish up an absolute hammering here.

Definitely and great to watch too

by Eejit Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:15 pm

Right which one of you is waving the <3 you John Inverdale sign in the background there.

Just need to improve the passing, only saw second 1/4 but some of the midfield passes kept stopping all flow and momentum.

by Eejit Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:20 pm

I like this ref. Very clear and consistent so far.

by **BigGee** Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:20 pm

Bad offload Wilson, never on

by **BigGee** Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:22 pm

That looked a bit harsh, McInally wrapped him up

by **BigGee** Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:26 pm

That was coming, hopefully that is us away now

by **BigGee** Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:27 pm

This is a try, good reach Hoggy

by Heaf Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:30 pm

Rough call for Italy there - no knock-on ...

by tigertattie Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:31 pm

Credit to Wilson for stopping the try there

by Eejit Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:31 pm

Despite Edinburgh players' best efforts we are winning this game well.

Sorry, are my ears deceiving me?

Credit to who?

by **BigGee** Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:35 pm

Kinghorn has to buy a jug tonight!

That was thye best one yet, BP try

by tigertattie Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:35 pm

Blairhorn the hat trick hero.

Which erse said to pick Seymour fit the fantasy team?

by Heaf Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:36 pm

This looks like it's going to be over 50 ...

by Scottrf Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:37 pm

5 Nations please.

by **BigGee** Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:37 pm

Great play by Russell and Ritchie in the build up to that one

A bulldozing run from Strauss to set it up

by tigertattie Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:37 pm

Eejit wrote:Despite Edinburgh players' best efforts we are winning this game well.

21 points from Edinburgh or former Edinburgh players.

Ritchie having a good game.

We’re winning because of the Edinburgh players

by bsando Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:38 pm

Well Strauss has been pretty anonymous today

by tigertattie Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:39 pm

Shug off. He’s been rather poo

Laidlaw off as we’re out in front surely

Its okay Tattie, Glasgow Warriors are here to save the day. You can have the 1872 trinkets and the meat pies to make yourselves feel better, but we all know where the hard yards are coming from. Ale

But this is Italy and they really are a step below everyone else (Benetton form or not)

by **LondonTiger** Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:42 pm

Scottish guy's doing the radio commentary heavily critical of Huw Jones as he is replaced.

Sounds like every time Scotland execute their skills they score.

Shug has been utter mince, probably since we beat England last year. Its no wonder Rennie prefers Nick Grigg at club level because at least he doesn't go missing for 9 months at a time!

by Guest Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:43 pm

Blairhorn having a stormer! Lovely last try.

clap

God ali price is looking a bit like meatball!

by tigertattie Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:44 pm

Harris scores.

It’s the end of days

by **BigGee** Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:44 pm

Who said Chris Harris was sh~t

by **BigGee** Sat 02 Feb 2019, 3:45 pm

Kerr on for his first cap, well done young man
