It's quite reassuring to know that you are a Grade A wahoo across multiple forums. Meanwhile, total respect to the Scottish squad for their contribution to one of the most remarkable rugby internationals I've ever watched. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a match without parallel in over 140 years of international rugby. I meant it positively this time.

TheScarf Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 The English pundits are squirming beautifully at the fact that Wales and Ireland are a level above them these days. It absolutely kills them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I don’t know an awful lot about rugby rules so can someone explain the advantage rule for me? Seems a bit ridiculous how long it carries on for sometimes - you’d almost be as well just giving the attacking team a try as you basically hamper the defensive team from making any attempt to win the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit ridiculous how long it carries on for sometimes - you’d almost be as well just giving the attacking team a try as you basically hamper the defensive team from making any attempt to win the ball. It's supposed to be a tactical or territorial advantage. If it's a knock-on, kicking it away will generally end the advantage, since most teams would prefer territory over a scrum further back. If it's a penalty, it's a bit more difficult, since you would almost always get more of an advantage going back for the penalty, especially within 10m of the opposition line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Would an advantage time limit make an improvement to the game? Say a 1 minute advantage then its gone? The dynamic of having advantage then it coming back for the penalty could go on forever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit ridiculous how long it carries on for sometimes - you’d almost be as well just giving the attacking team a try as you basically hamper the defensive team from making any attempt to win the ball.If it's a penalty advantage then the attacking team needs to make a significant yardage gain before the ref would call advantage over. The only way those last few weren't coming back for a penalty to England was if they scored a try, if they had knocked it on it Scotland had turned it over it would have been a penalty to England.Wee bit different from a scrum advantage. If the attacking team decide to kick it away they almost always give up their scrum, if they make maybe 10-15 metres then the advantage is probably over too.Nice to finish a tough tourney on a bit of a high, but that first half defensive performance was awful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Dismissing Scotland for bottlers after failing to hold on for 8 minutes in a game that had already seen 10 tries is not only daft it presents a lexical problem Because setting the bar that low would force us to dismiss England as megahyperturbosuperuberbottlersWhich is a bit of a mouthful 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also be a fairly arbitrary selection of the time, unless you had people going back to calculate the average penalty advantage time over the last however many years of games. Also, what happens if you have a penalty under the posts, but the time expires in the corner trying to score? That's not exactly an advantage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would England have been so off the pace in the second half if there had been a championship on the line? But yes, that would have been the best thing ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
