Incredible comeback. In years gone by that would have been 31-0 going on 60+, don’t know what Townsend said at HT but it clearly worked. Gutting not to get the win but that’s a comeback to be proud of.

Great comeback but ultimately gutted we didn't hold on.

Similar feeling to the football teams 2-2 draw at Hampden, them scoring in 96th Minute

At least we got to keep the Calcutta Cup

Wonder how Scottish football would look if it sacked all the bigots with 17th Century views

Warriors 50 20 Ulster

What a performance from Glasgow last night, final at Celtic Park next Saturday.

Why not play it at Murrayfield instead of a sectarian cesspit ?

Because the SRU didn't bid for the final and Celtic did.

Lots of Leinster fans think the Scottish fans are overreacting to this, "it's only a bit of fun". They just don't get it.

Ireland ahead but Scotland kick to gain 3 points in the opening game.

Scotland getting pumped already...................

19-3 down after 36 mins. 

[St.Ricky 8,247]

Under the cosh against a very powerful Irish team 19..3 at half time.

Same score, 50 mins, not looking likely Scotland can get a win.

Did I hear it's S Africa or New Zealand next? 🙈

SA/NZ will be the likely QF opponent presuming we get through the group. With Japan and Samoa still to play alongside Russia, we will already be under pressure.

Ah, where I heard this they must have been looking ahead, and on the bright side. 

Just went 24-3 down, fecked.

I expected defeat to Ireland tbh, and was pinning hopes on beating both Samoa and Japan to make the next round. If we canny beat Russia then there’s no point. Japan with home advantage will be tough and the recent Samoa meetings with us have been mental try fests that worked in our favour.

Get it wrong and we could finish 4th - and that means having to qualify for the next World Cup 😂

[St.Ricky 8,247]

Better second half from Scotland but unable so far to add to their three points. Ireland 27. Scotland 3

[St.Ricky 8,247]

England up next.

Pish result today, couldn’t even deny Ireland a bonus point. Not done ourselves any favours today.

Only watched about 30 mins of the game, usual Scotland mistakes leading to scores for Ireland. Bit like watching the saints, very, very, very frustrating

Only seen a few glimpses, just don't seem to be able to covert any half chances.

They must have been watching us. 

[St.Ricky 8,247]

England strolling to victory. 28..3.after an hour. England look very efficient and well organised. 

[faraway saint 28,608]

England win 35-3, poor Tonga, must be as bad as Scotland.

Can we keep the rugby chat in here, please, no need for (yet another) thread.

That was like Glasgow v Leinster in the final without the bits where Glasgow were actually in the game and you thought they might actually win.
