My head says I know who lost, me!

Yes, I didn’t exact watch and I know whon atuallt won!

Spoilers. Scotland did not win. But we did give them a hell of a scare

Predictions

Head: Ireland, England, France all by 10+

Heart: Italy, Wales, Scotland - oh dear, I’m in for a long day

Arse: Ireland pull off a narrow win against a defiant Italy, Wales gub England, and France fail to handle Scottish speed meaning all my predicitions come true. But France still manage to win on PD, securing a last minute bp try

Happy Saturday all, I’m in Paris for the match!

In Paris the day, hence why we’re late, oot fer the rugby! Nae expectin much, but hopin fer a guid game at least. Seen Notre Dame the day aifter openin back up, and it’s like it never hud a fire. Done a fine job indeed

Listening tae The Rest is History oan the plane. The build up tae WW1, what a fab 6 episodes on just 1 week ae history

Lots of sandbagging I think. Quali going to be good tomorrow!

Yes, Blair was suspicious. And Edinburgh’s form also telling imo. There’s one or two people, maybe players, maybe back room, maybe board room, that are holding Edinburgh back I suspect. Toonie could brush that aside potentially, but yes its seen as a demotion indeed. Won’t happen in a Lions year either

I’m not sure. I suspect Toonie might just start shopping around to see what can be done if he falls flat this weekend. The SRU may only pull the trigger if they get Franco Smith to commit to the top job. The SRU could in theory switch the coaches around even. Why not let Gregor go back to the basics and squad development for a time? (Why not the Edinburgh job?)

Cannot see us anywhere close. I suspect Toonie needs to be within 10 to keep his job

It makes a mockery essentially game being for all shapes and sizes. Packs are getting bigger, and then backs aren’t finding them tired and the space is being shut down. It also magnifies the disparity between playing nations’ pools, and that isn’t good for the global game or competitiveness

/me laughes in Alonso

If only America had a single seater series with loads of talent! I’d be shocked if they chose a non-american

Would watch the hell out of that

That Capuozzo fella is pretty handy. Come on Italy!

Our last 20 has been consistently poor, our bench lags behind the big hitters for sure. And I think Wales played their way into that for sure. Stopped stupid kicks, managed the ref better, and attacked our lineouts. Cherry going off the sliding doors moment for me, the lineout is so important with current rules - we can’t be losing as many as we did, and conceding as many pens.

Not sure if we can fix that for Paris next week either

Imagine the complaints if it was 5g! Nimbys gotta NIMBY. They’ll complain at coverage too of course

Loved the ambition! These guys have the skills so let’s see it more!

All subreddits have power posters. The same 6 names show up far more than any other names. You need allies to poison this well, and these are your potential allies. See if you can get some of them in a private non-reddit forum (I dont advocate discord but it is likely easier). Step 2 is adding rules that enable enshittification. Cutting out rumour and requiring reputable sites. Recent news only. Text only posts must contain a question in the title only. No top level replies to own threads. Off topic chat not allowed. AI hating not allowed. I’m sure there are some more. Step 3: inconsistent modding. Apply these rules only to the non-six. Step 4: your allies then start declaring this subreddit dead and that other communities exist. Whilst they move to Lemmy too

Alright, own up. Which one of yehs dun it? It wis fuckin wan uv yehs!

Lots of talk, little action in my experience and travels. Of course Scotland was once covered in the ancient Caledonian rainforest, and pockets of it still exist, but rewilding has a more recent history. Really, for the last hundred years, the forestry commission has mismananged and planted vast mono cultures across Scotland. But we are slowly changing this, and learning more about our ecosystems
