There has been some spectacular meltdowns. The rugby inside line on twitter was hilarious. And Nick Knowles stopped just short of asking the whole of Wales for a square go.
I kinda feel England felt our revival was brilliant as long as we kept being slightly more shit then them, I think this is the first time in my life we actually have a fortress at Murratfield so i expect to see lots of better teams than the England that did go home beat, although the next step is now to turn up away from home and take a big scalp.

Great news,
I know I give Nigel quite some stick but he does tend to have a fairly sensible hat on when stuff like this happens, I wish the citing guys also had that sensibleness also
Also - I think if it had been anyone except Sir Own Farrle Knight of the Rose Lord of all then someone would have made more of it

From beeb:
It found that Wilson "had committed an act of foul play in that he had made contact (with two of his fingers) with the eye area of his opponent".
However, the committee "accepted medical evidence submitted on the player's behalf that, due to a pre-existing injury, two of his fingers were involuntarily in a bent or hooked position".
They "also considered that the contact with the eye area had been reckless (rather than intentional), light and fleeting, and had come about as a result of the player's attempts to grab his opponent's shirt during an off-the-ball scuffle".

you'd think he'd be a bit more careful in the eye area!

It's strongly implied that they're our fans but not 100%. C*nts whoever it is either way. Hope they can be identified through CCTV and banned from rugby.

Aye, they are Scottish alright, there is a video of them bouncing round twitter somewhere. Cunts are going to cunt.
One of them has a Cruise Fashion shopping bag. Not aware of one of those shops in Manchester, so he has quite possibly brought it down from Scotland or lives down there and has gone out with his best cardboard bag so he has somewhere to put his cans of Relentless. Jakey fud.
Surely social media won’t find it difficult to start a thoroughly deserved witch hunt for this bunch?

Who are these lots of better teams? I’m no England sycophant, but at present who, other than NZ and Ireland, are these lots of better teams?
As for the ****s hassling Jones. I doubt they were rugby fans but what a bunch of knobs.
That England team played a wee bit poorer, im talking about a team that actually turns up
Not entirely sure of your point, I’m struggling with the local dialect , but you seem to be saying that the Eng team for last Saturday were a poor imitation of their normal selves and that there are lots of better teams based on that England performance. If so, then fair enough. Our first half display was fecking appalling and our second half barely acceptable.
