Scotland are forced to replace number eight Matt Fagerson with Nick Haining on the eve of Friday's Six Nations finale against France.
"Only five England-based players could be selected"
Hold on, so France are the beneficiaries by their own Covid infringements?
Scotland (and effectively Wales) are penalised.
I have a feeling that if England were in line to win the 6N the rules might be different

Correct, its always a downward spiral when you put faith in a drink
Scotch is a drink...............people from Scotland are Scottish
Ditto that Chris absolutely shocking treatment for us
You are missing the point.
I welcomed professionalism to RU but there have been downsides. One of them is that international Rugby has become so critical for revenue streams, in the northern hemisphere this has meant keeping the largest market happy. Even the WRU diverts Wales v Eng tickets to the rich English market.
Money talks, it always does, but there needs to be better checks & balances

National Anthems? England HAVE to change the one for all the UK, NOT England. Try this:
I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung, want to pull up tough
'Cause you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Ya know the rest! Removed

COME ON WALES
Come on Scotland! (Am I really saying this?...I guess I am)
After the France Covid fiasco and the laughable La Porte report , I'm with BOD... France should've forfeited the game.
Then, we had the even more absurd. Galthie claiming the Welsh had somehow tricked Willemse into sticking his fingers in Jones' eye. Eh?
So yeah....COME ON SCOTLAND! Whatever you do don't lose by 20 points!

Is it just me, but whenever a contributor starts off with "As an Englishman.." or "as an England supporter.." it just immediately rubs me the wrong way. It has this air of superiority right off the bat. Why bother to announce yourself like that? Why don't you just say something like ".....as a complete and useless tool......" OR, '.....as an admittedly retarded and IQ handicapped spanner.."

As someone with my head up my own Arsenal!! I do so admire the way Scottish Rugby has chosen a Scottish Manager and stuck by him. England should choose an English coaching team - as say I - an English Arsenal-hole. And offload the cabal of southern hemisphere coaching mercenaries, within the English set up. So there you raggedy bunch!
Good luck Scotland and Gregor - chip, chip, and cheerio Say I. Removed

Where did all my biting wit and cutting messages go? Some sorry English folk with fragile agos get upset? Bless them. This should be a site for discourse and humor. Stop taking yourselves so seriously. you're a tiny island nation in the UK - also a tiny island in and of itself. Just grow up and stop behaving like a bunch of prima donnas.

BOD loves a COD - look mate, be real. you must be talking about posts on here surely. The darkest hour in rugby history, You should have been banned for 1000 years for that, banished, and never to darken a rugby HYS site again!
SO, GO SCOTLAND - SCOTLAND THE BRAVE!!! YOU CAN SCORE ONE MORE TRY, BUT YE KANNAYE TAKE MA FREEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDOOOMMMMMM.
Scotland should play Jimmy Krankie, she seems to be Teflon coated at the moment, so not even the French could bring her down l.

I went to the same school as Ian Krankie and played in the school cricket team with his real wee brother whose name was actually Colin. Did anybody interesting or slightly famous go to your school?
a) The game should be going ahead, with both teams free to pick the squads they want, for the sake of the integrity of the tournament.
b) Scotland should not be disadvantaged: they maintained their team bubble throughout the tournament and didn't have any COVID cases. The French coach broke the rules and 11 French players ended up testing positive.
c) The English Premiership should not interfere.

France is the most prolific nation in modern rugby :
France, 25 championships, 9 slams, 3 w-c finals (including 1 robbed, cf. Clive Woodward) (I would add 1 other w-c final robbed for Mandela)
Wales, 24 championships, 9 slams, 3 w-c semi-finals
England, 20 championship, 7 slams, 3 w-c finals, 1 w-c
..and that won't change

Well if you are 6' 5" then you'll be able to.
Otherwise keep quiet and go infest the playground with your juvenile comments lad

Can't see that happening, as he has finally got Scotland playing attractive running rugby, so why should he go now as they're on the cusp of a good future. It would be madness
Mate, Unfortunately the mods won't do anything about it, so the only thing we can do is ignore the saddo.

Agree the difference between Italy and england is that the Italians have potential. The english will be languishing at the foot of the table for the foreseeable future such is the dearth of english rugby talent. I am of course assuming England’s next SH scouting trip doesn’t discover 23+ new players (and a new coach).
France by 70 points. Scotland Then file for litigation because they have decided to throw their toys out of their prams just like the WC in Japan. Better watch what I say or I could be served with a writ!!

Change the record BOD!! Cut and pasting your anti-Scottish bile is more than a little tedious. As I've said before, I'm really sorry that girl wasn't interested and picked the Scottish guy as a boyfriend but you really need to move on....

Getting your units of measurement mixed up again I see. You mean France by 85 mins. You're saying France will win by the 85th minute 'cos the game is going to spill over a bit from the regulation time of 80 mins. Right BOD loves a COD off ya go. Time to polish yourself.

All Scotland have achieved this year is one more win than normal, usually 4 losses and one win. Let’s not get the haggis out just yet. Never ever contended the 6n! Wow that is shocking! That’s a generation of rugby players and nothing for fans to enjoy! Oh the shame!
