Copying over the posts from the temporary forum
Rugby fans, I have started this thread as you can see!! :)
Are we the only rugby fans?? :lol: I haven't seen as much as I'd like (not a morning person :lol: ) but i'm still on a high from Ireland's win on Saturday :D And followed by Dublin winning the all Irealnd for the first time in 16 years it was a great weekend sportswise for me :D
It was a fantastic weekend for me too. GB won, England won, Lancashire won (cricket) and Saints beat Wigan (RL) Don't think we are the only Rugby fans but the boys don't seem to be posting a lot on here.
As usual, Scotland snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and now have to beat England to qualify for the QFs.

I agree Scotland should have won that match - just one lapse of concentration when they were controlling the match and that was that. Having said that, we should have had a penalty at the end - the Argentinian player was clearly off side - I would think the ref will cringe when he sees the playback.

Worse than that, we probably have to beat them by 7 to deny them a bonus point!

The ref won't cringe. He was favouring Argentina throughout the match - awarding penalties when a prop loses his footing is a new one to me.
That aside, we shoud have won. One lapse in concentration cost the try, and why Parks wasn't at least 5 yards deeper for the DG attempt we may never know! Its not as if he was near the limit of his range.
