Two bonus points they have because of TMO incompetence.

Well done Scotland - haggis and Irn Bru in the Buzzo household tonight

Always Irn Bru and haggis round ours.

Good performance today. Dodgy start, but we kept the score board ticking over. Second half, the French tired, discipline fell away I der pressure and the win felt inevitable last 15.

Next up - the English..!

How are you looking injury wise? Likely to be any better given next round is a couple of weeks down the line?

No additional injuries today (that I know off), but I don’t think any of the previously injured front row guys will be back.

Hope Dunbar and Richie Gray are back for Calcutta Cup. I’d expect us to line up similar today. Denton’s thrown his hat in the ring for 8, and Dunbar’s strength at Centre could be important. That said, Pete Horne is a bit of an unsung hero and Dunbar didn’t have his best game v Englandlast year.

Just getting into the business end now and we are missing Furlong, Henderson and Henshaw vs Wales.

I hate Gatland and am far less optimistic now they have Bigger, Halfpenny and Williams back!

[Buzzo]

Difficult to know who to hate more Eddie Jones or Gatland.

Garland being all nice about us (and Finn Russell) in the press is as obvious a tactic as his pretty unsavoury take down of Rhys Patchell. He noans like **** when the media say anything negative about the juggernaut but is more than happy to use the press to take down other sides.

You’ve got the Welsh at home haven’t you Nev? Are you going?

I’ll be at Murrayfield again in hope more than expectation

Would absolutely love to beat them.

Cant decide who I want to win in your game. Prefer you lot typically, but then you lot will closing in on a Slam.

Reckon I'd be happy with Scotland and Ireland wins, then a massive match in Ireland in a couple of weeks.

I've not been skiing since the kids came along.

So nearly 10 years. I miss it sooo much. Where are you going?

Poland - have been there was the past 3 years and take the kids also (6+4), the 6 year old started last year and the 4 year old will start this year with lessons.

Mrs is Polish and skiing since she was 5, he family join us and they have all the gear etc so makes for a cheap (ish) ski trip

Gatland talks too much, but **** me does Jones spew relentlessly. I wish they'd both shut the **** up at times in honesty.

Yeah, I meant Jones being all nice about us, his mind games...

He is impossible to like.
