Edinburgh hold off Benetton’s second-half fightback to return to winning ways

Idk if you’ve ever interacted with “AA” on here? He has (several times) tried to argue that Marcus Smith is better than Ford because he has more youtube highlights compilations dedicated to him

For pens, stick to flagrant and dangerous play like collapses, otherwise make the feeding side use the ball.

If you take away the GKing, I would take at least four other FBs ahead of Ramos right now. Even Buros from UBB is better.

I think it should be a separate 30 second scrum clock. Don’t stop the game clock.

30 seconds to set, engage, throw it in and get it out. No re-sets. One shot.

You don’t want props to feel left out and you don’t want it to go the way of rugby league, scrums are no longer useful if they can’t be ref’d properly.

I’d prefer the scrum to be under rather than over-reffed as you’re suggesting - mostly by ppl who don’t really know what’s happening. If there is doubt, let the scrum play out!

In fact, it’s more recent than 2012. I remember Eddie lamenting the ‘Six and a halves’ he had going into the 2016 England tour of Oz. He went with Robshaw and Haskell, and then Temaina Harrison at ‘7’ in the last test because Haskell was injured.

Wasn’t that the same dream team that had Lomax in it, lol?!

Based on recent form. A storming 6N and an undefeated Nov series. I’m still not seeing an argument for a better current backline than Ramos, Penaud, LBB.

And even now nobody is sure who'll take his spot in the 23. Especially with Conan if not over the hill, beyond the top.

Then around 39 mins it’s a red card. In the second half they score 3 lineout maul tries exposing the player advantage. Two in the corner and Kwagga splitting off the back to go close to the posts.

Ramos? Who’s a better test level 15 at the moment? Do Bielle-Biarrey’s 8 TRIES in this years 6N merely count as great?

Do you even have one? Too afraid to join in?
