As of now the SRU no longer permits transgender women in Scotland to participate in full contact women’s rugby. We understand the number of people affected are in single digits. This is an incredibly sad day for the sport. History will judge the SRU and other Unions harshly.

I think one thing both Scottish and Irish fans can agree on is what a fantastic player Johnny Sexton has been. His final ever game this weekend will be a fitting end to a glorious career.

Plenty of Irish fans spent the last week telling us this account would be silent this morning but we’re happy to admit we were beaten by a better funded Union with significantly more resources and registered players than us. Congratulations 🇨🇮 and good luck.

Seems incredibly unlikely that we’ll see a repeat of Kolbe’s charge down this weekend. Not because England will be expecting it but because they won’t score any tries.

Gregor Townsend, on the radio literally two hours ago; "Finn's in the best physical shape I've seen in ages and he's been so professional since he's been back in camp". Finn; "who's up for macaroni pies in the Aston Martin?".

1) Not jump into contact.2) Actually make an attempt to tackle or go for a grubber.3) Not turn mid air so his elbow smashed into Keenan’s face.4) If he realised it was too late for the tackle hold his hands up in the air.
Would love to ask the referee and the media pundits who said it was a red card, the simple question. With Keenan off balance and running right at him, what was Freddie Steward meant to do to avoid that collision?.

Scotland have only lost once to England in the last 4 years but still they persist with this bullshit….
If you could only watch one Six Nations game this season, Scotland versus England in Murrayfield might just be it. #GuinnessSixNations

Some next day post match analysis:. Scotland DIDN’T lose because of:.❌ Zander Fagerson’s red card.❌ Anything Matt Carley did.❌ They played badly. Scotland lost because:.✔️ They switched off after the second try.✔️ They made the wrong decisions at key moments.✔️ Discipline.

IF the France v Scotland game doesn’t go ahead there should be a proper investigation into the coronavirus outbreak in the French camp. If they’ve been unlucky then the game needs to be rescheduled. If someone’s broken the bubble Scotland should be awarded the win.

Absolutely incredible. Rugby has absolutely no chance of growing as a sport whilst stuff like this is happening.

It’s 6 Nations Eve and many of you out there will be watching Rugby Union with friends or family who haven’t watched rugby since the last Six Nations so here’s a quick cheat sheet you can give them to help them fit in🧵. (With apologies to @SoozUK Annual Eastenders Xmas Update)

Ireland and Scotland have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.
The only way the Springboks can be denied a quarter-final is if Scotland beat Ireland by 21 points, while letting Ireland score four tries. It would be a massive convenience if that quirk of a result were to happen. .

What an excellent advert for the sport in advance of the World Cup. A sport up to its neck in court action from players suffering early onset dementia and where at least ones players death is potentially connected to poor aftercare of a head injury just decided MMA shots are fine.

Edinburgh just destroyed a team featuring Siya Kolisi, Ox Niche & Makazole Mapimpi in South Africa. For context British & Irish Lions conceded 5 tries against Cell C Sharks in Summer when their Boks players were unavailable. Edinburgh > B&I Lions.

This was one of the venues on the Irish bid
As fantastic as it sounds, and itd be fantastic for SA to go out in those circumstances - I’d rather get into bed with a rabid Hyena than come to an arrangement that would help Scotland Rugby after they voted against Irelands RWC bid.

Can only assume that a party of worms broke through to the surface just as Keenan’s boot hovered over the touch line. That would account for the grass kicking up. Sending thoughts to the worms and hoping everyone is OK. Incredible attention to detail from the TMO.
Think the match officials got this one right. Verrrrrrrry close but looks like Keenan's studs don't go down onto the touchline, hover just over it. The mud from the studs does fall down onto the touchline. Fine margins!

Rugby needs to drop the respect bollocks. You get no more respect in rugby than any other sport. It’s being used as a way to gloss over some pretty major problems in the game.

@LittleChief69 @GlasgowWarriors To be called racist scum and you know you are is not what I expected to hear @GlasgowWarriors . We were actually singing Exeter to the tune of the Tomahawk Chop. I found the whole experience quite intimidating .Made us feel quite uncomfortable in our seats.
