Townsend makes shock decision as Scotland make 4 changes for England

Well the very obvious replacement is FS so really the only question is who can they get to replace him at glasgow next season. You make pretty good points on the SRU/fan expectations but my sense is that it could be very difficult to deal with the fall out of a statement england win this time, and it could very well happen with that sco 23 selection. Recent near miss vs NZ, the arg capitulation and ofc the Newcastle issue have created a tricky narrative for all concerned as things stand…

Scotland scrum coach Pieter de Villiers: We can still win Six Nations

A match in Rome nowadays is no cakewalk. England struggled two years ago, Ireland struggled last year, SA (albeit) a man down got a real scare.

Lamaro said they have a “dream” this year. I think they plan to beat England in Rome.

Highlanders vs Crusaders takes: Dane Coles 2.0, a late Jamie Joseph juggle

Whether it’s Rennie or Joseph, we’ll have a real coach leading the All Blacks either way. Someone who truly understands the game… who will be much more demanding — and that’s going to do a lot, a lot of good.

Scotland scrum coach Pieter de Villiers: We can still win Six Nations

Its hard for Wales as rugby is a proper working class sport there. Wales doesn’t have the structure of fee paying schools to fall back on when in tight times. I think they will have to create a new model one which is able to genuinely create funding but also serve Welsh rugby. NZ are struggling with that at the moment.

12-year wait ended as major World Ranking change lands

“All tournaments are a lottery, I think you’ll need to look at yourself for placing more importance on it than is warranted. As I’ve often said, you take it way too far. if it’s meaningless behaving like that, you’ll send a better message than carrying on like you do. You’re hurting yourself.”

I am not sure what this means.

Crusaders start title defence with dramatic defeat to Highlanders

Caleb Tangitau will be starting on one wing for the All Blacks — that’s a certainty.

He should already have been last year for the European tour…

agree, the one word I would have used to describe the Landers last year would be “cohesive”, and if JJ can work the same magic on the AB squad, the sky is the limit.

Highlanders vs Crusaders takes: Dane Coles 2.0, a late Jamie Joseph juggle

Winning with a weakened team is a good sign for Jamie Joseph’s chances of getting the All Blacks job.

The All Blacks need a coach that can turn them around and make them look like a properly coached team again.

Darcy Swain: 17-Test Wallaby on decision to join French side Clermont

Good for him to make the step up, particularly in terms of fan expectations.

Unfortunately his name is marred with that incident with Tupaea many years ago and now that he’s been back for a while plus also has got back into the All Blacks, perhaps he should be given a clean slate. I found his Super Rugby form strong last year and I think he should’ve played more for the Wallabies last year.

Why Andy Farrell is 'very happy' amid Ireland ‘soul-searching’



“(I’m) very happy because nobody was holding back so there’s a lot of honesty there, there’s no excuses,” replied Farrell when asked about this week’s preparations.

I heard Farrell on a radio interview on RTE on this. He rowed right back from his post match “intention” comments.

The times are changing, and some Six Nations teams may be left behind

Except when one of the 2 off the bench is Esterhuizen or Kwagga - both “stardust” players 😊 and of course there are others like them - but not many.

They needed to make a strong statement via selection and they have gone some way to doing it. Let’s see if that back three can counter-attack!

Many thanks as always JW. With your blessing, we will now start playing rugby east-west and re-position the poles on the sideline!👍😁

‘Scot need to move the ball, kick in behind Eng and move their big men around the field and wear them out.’

This unshakeable article of faith that England is stocked with big unfit men compared to their rivals is both puzzling and hilarious.

That’s okay — let them keep blaming Jacques (Jacques, take one for SA 😎).

As long as they’re pointing fingers at someone else, they’ll never fix the real problems.

Scotland scrum coach Pieter de Villiers: We can still win Six Nations

Yes,from the South,I always look forward to this time of the year.Over the years 6N games have always been such a pleasure to watch,just a pity that Wales are struggling to get where they use to be.In time they will probably find their way again.

A 5/3 just doesn’t make sense when you’re up against a team like England.

I see a trend emerging, 6/2s in games between the top sides. 5/3 for the rest.
