6 nations should be good next year.  I mean that genuinely.
England/France will be starting from scratch but with a great mass of players, whereas the other teams look more established.

Collectively they've all got to try new things as the southern hemisphere have the clean sweep of semi spots.

Scotland will still fuck up the Six Nations, they always do.

Well, one thing the SH doesn't do well is produce good refs.  I complain every year about the 6N being polluted by SH refs - what business do they have there?

Never heard of that. Do Europeans referee Four Nations matches?

Richie McCaw referees the NZ games.

I normally think Joubert is alright. I think some of the reactions to the ref from former Scottish pros is well over the top. I get fans getting over emotional, but if you're working for the media you should be able to retain some sense of control

The yellow card was iffy. Penalty for a late shot on Hogg on 76 hasn't been picked up. Plus the winning penalty.

The Sweaties have plenty to be pissed off about.

I agree, but those Scots working in the media should have more professionalism. Referring to the referee as a 'numpty' is out of order.

I'd say it's pretty conservative. They should have been more critical of the cheating bastard.

Having calmed down a bit, I still think there's absolutely no excuse for either of the decisions - the sin-binning was clearly wrong, and not to refer a big scramble like that upstairs at such a crucial time was, well, shall we call it 'hubristic'? It's gutting.

He couldn't refer the last penalty apparently as it wasn't foul play or have anything to do with a try

I ended up supporting a team I don't like so well did the Jocks play. The ref fucked them over.

And so.....Come on you Puma's!

He could've reviewed their tries though. Or just, you know, actually bothered to pay attention to see if there was a forward pass.
