Just watched the game. That was great. Most of the problems have been covered already. Not sure why Peter Horne didn't pass just before the second try but at least Fraser Brown went over a couple of phases later.

Enjoyable game to watch. Did well to stifle Fiji given that they're a great team to watch normally. Skinner is a solid find. Always enjoy Laidlaw's 'chats' with the referee.

Stuart Hogg has announced he’s leaving Glasgow at the end of the season.

To Exeter Chiefs.   I'm going to guess he retires from international rugby after the world cup.  No reason, just a hunch.

No way he will retire from international rugby at 27. No chance, fought so hard recovery time to make yesterdays match. That's the measure of the man plus he will want at least another lions tour

Agreed, but I do wonder how many times he will be fit to play for Scotland. Under the SRU he must be one of the most managed players in the world. He barely plays for Glasgow anymore, he's basically just a full time Scotland player. I'm sure Exeter will be paying him a heavy wage, I reckon he could probably be looking at between £750k-£1m a year, so he's going to be playing every week. There must be question marks over his ability to do that.

Germany win quite comfortably against hong kong in the other first round match 26-9

Some other interesting results over the weekend, Italy come from behind to beat Georgia at home 28-17 and Russia demolish Namibia 47-20. For me though the most suprising was that the NZ Maori's only managed to beat Brazil 35-3 - Brazil have come on leaps and bounds the last few years and have already scored wins over USA and Canada in the ARC, and will only get better with a good chunk of there players have just got pro contracts with MLR in the US.

 

Also forgot to mention the motm award, a can of tennents in a plastic cube, seriously....
