Ref said " apart from anything else I am ruling it out in the spirit of the game" so he didn't have to spend time looking at replays, deciding if it was a throw in, judging which of the laws might have been broken etc etc. Rule it out, get the game moving on. I thought Barnes reffed the game well.

Im talking about for Scotland. I know hes held it at Glasgow.

Yes, he's always struggled for power internationally.

My preferences for Scotland now woud be:
4 Gray
5 Gray
6 Denton
7 Hardie
8 Strauss

19 Gilchrist/Toolis
20 Barclay

It's got to be said, that's a hell of a back row.

Seems like I missed a bit of a cracker... can't believe people will be paying £115 to watch mismatches and walkovers like New Zealand vs Georgia when you can see a game like this for 10% of that!

its on iplayer if you want to see it. Might not be so exciting now you know what happened tho

No, there's two other games today so I'd be falling behind
