Scrum ruined us today. Finn wasn't very good but we are sacrificing possession and penalties at every scrum and we are becoming known as a soft touch.

I did not watch the full game as penalties really annoy me. 3 points for someone touching the ball when he thinks he can seems excessive considering the amount of work a team does to get a try. I would stop kicking at the goal completely and the team can only kick to the corner flag and give them that throw in whatsit.
Scotland were near their goal line (try line?) and there was a scrum. France were penalised for turning the scrum and Scotland got a penalty. The commentator said that it was a clear infringement cos the French guy at the back was driving sideways. On the replay I saw his feet were at an angle and we was driving the scrum around.
Five minutes later, France had a scrum. I knew this rule and so watched that player. He did exactly the same thing, driving sideways. Ref blew. I thought, great penalty to Scotland. No - penalty to France - 3 points.
One of the commentators did pick up on it, to be fair, but the other one said, it was because France were straighter. But he was still turning the scrum. So, he was less successful in his cheating, but did turn the scrum and put sideways pressure on it and France got a penalty. Scotland may have done something, but surely, if there is sideways pressure on the scrum then it is harder to handle.
I have come to the conclusion that the rules are like the emperors new clothes. No one is willing to say that they have not a clue why half the penalties are awarded etc. and just accept the decisions of the refs. Commentators thought France had a try cos he had a fingertip on the ball - it was a certainty that they would get it in their minds watching the replays. On replay, no award cos he was deemed to have lost control of the ball.
The game is a complete mystery to me.

Well that was a facking shambles, our biggest ever defeat against England.

Indeed abject humiliation and second bottom of the group. For all of the bluster nothing much has changed. At least it is mathematically impossible for us to get the wooden spoon after the last game.

England were arrogant for a reason.
