Scotland have finally got back on track, they've now actually got some decent backs who can run with the ball, after going through a phase where they hardly ever scored any tries.
They had a good Six Nations this year, and France's result against South Africa when Ireland smashed them confirms their recent downward spiral, I think Scotland could realistically be looking at a top 3 finish in the Six Nations in 2018 if Gatland can't get Wales back on track after Howley's dreadful year in charge.
Also what's the verdict on the disallowed Hooper try near the beginning of the England vs Wallabies match? Hooper was clearly in front of the kicker but the argument I saw was that the winger who was onside overtook Hooper and played him onside? I don't know what the rule is anymore, they've changed it so many times over the years.
Just watched the clip again, #13 kicks the ball and Hooper recognises he's offside and puts his arms up in the air and slows down a little bit until the chasing winger who is onside #14 passes him and then he starts running normally again. Nobody caught the ball, it was a grubber kick, #14 for the Wallabies gets there first and tries to kick it forward towards the line but misses as it bounces and then it falls to Hooper who dives on it and slides over the line.
Any loss by the dirty Poms is fine with me so long as Eddie Jones’ nose gets put out of joint.
Please don’t let this years Super Rugby season be another Yawn fest where only the NZ teams are good.
Bring on the NRL season and **** the Storm
Sexton was MVP for me this championship, him or Healy who was a beast all tourney long. I'm just surprised how good of a player Sexton has turned into, I thought was fairly average with some good qualities in there in the past, but now he is up there with Halfpenny or Owens.At this point the 6 Nations is Ireland's to lose
