Reading the rules it seems that you must catch the ball before you can drop kick a goal. But what happens if the ball is kicked forward and it goes between the posts? I should have thought it would be a good goal.

I'm sure it wasn't deliberate but, as the TV commentators said, it might prove a benefit next week because any complacency was knocked out of them by the Italians.

I was disappointed all round at the absolutely dreadful standard of rugby on show.

Another game won by the team that was caught cheating less times than the other one.

The premier game is a travesty thanks to the ridiculous plethora of penalty offences.

They should take a leaf out of Association Football's book and only allow a kick at goal if the offence stopped a chance of scoring.

Minor or technical offences (remember the ridiculous rule that you were blown offside if you accidentally ran into a member of your own side?) should be dealt with by territorial or possession sanctions.

However, going to the original point of your question, I knew I had been up here too long when I found myself shouting for Glasgow, a place I have only been to two or three times, and don't like (sorry HB!) instead of Cardiff, where I spent all of my formative rugby years, and actually played on the Arms Park!
