We need a better full back!

Quite a good match today, beating France 23-13 in the rugby. I am pleased we are as yet unbeaten in the Six Nations. Our full back though, whatever his name is, isn't up to much - particularly in the first half. Anyone else watch this and what did you think? (btw the women's match starts in a minute on the red button! I night watch that too).

A brutal game. Glad I packed in playing when I was in my teens...11 stone 6 would get crushed these days!

I played it for years when I was younger, I never really got hurt although it can be brutal. I've always thought professional footballers are wimps compared to what professional rugby players have to put up with. A footballer gets tapped and he's on the ground supposedly in agony. A rugby player gets hit, shoulder first, by an 18 stone geezer sprinting at him, and he gets up and carries on.

Looking forward to Ireland- Scotland this afternoon.

Truly amazing that Scotland won today. They beat Ireland 12-8 and it's apparently their first win at home in ages. They lost every game at Murrayfield last year. Ireland had 80% of the possession today, and they scored the only try, but still lost the match. Ireland fluffed some chances in the first half, and their place-kicker isn't up to much. He missed three or four chances although he had a hard angle to kick from with most of them. Well done Scotland, a surprising win but a win all the same. There is now going to be massive pressure on Ireland coach Declan Kidney following Ireland's poor results of late.

Max, Scotland won their last game at Murrayfield before yesterday. A massive two weeks ago! Fud!
