Watson out injured for England. They're talking about either shuffling the back three to put Daly on the wing and George Furbank at 15, or a straight swap of Ollie Thorley for Watson.

Still not sure what they're going to do with the back row in the absence of Billy V

Curry at 8.

I saw an interview with Eddie and he said there's only 5 attacking scrums on average in test match rugby so the traditional 8 is no longer needed.

So long as we don't get pinged in shooting range because our scrums lack power
Ewels comes in at 2nd row

I don't think Curry will lack power in defensive scrums, my only concern would be how he handles the ball from the base, either going backwards or in attack.

For me, an 8 that can pick a ball from a scrum going backwards is key for the position. I know he's played 8 before but I haven't seen enough of him there to know either way........I don't reckon he has mitts the size of Billy V

Way too easy for Wales. Ireland Vs Scotland about to start

Thankfully this game looks like being better than the Wales-Italy game, though it would have been hard pressed to be worse.

Did I just hear that Irish lad arguing with the referee?

Classic Scotland so far this.... Frustrating

Italy seem to be intent on furthering the cause of having a promotion/relegation playoff between the bottom side in the 6 Nations and winners of the European Championship.

I don't blame them. At last a match they can win

French refs/touch judges

Merde

That's the equivalent of missing an open goal from inside the 6 yard box.

As I said... Classic Scotland. So frustrating

3 points when they should have had 5 or 7.

Missing an open goal while standing on the line !

FFS Hoggy, don't you dare do that in an Exeter shirt now

Hamish Watson brilliant for Scotland

Ha'way the Pads

Ireland looked very weak in defence against quick ball.

Job done I suppose for Faz im his first game in the big seat

Scotland though

Thoughts on France England? I thought Les Bleus showed promise during the WC & if it hadn't been for the idiotic red card, would've made the final. If they buy into Edwards disciplinary model, they could be a different challenge. Might be a season or two away but there's some awesome young talent in their team...
