2025 6N thread

That is pish by Darge (I think).

He's not had a great game

There's a set of Scotland fans on twitter who think he's a nailed on Lion. Based on 6N he's not the best 7 in our team.

Agreed. Not in the reckoning. Schoeman, Fagerson and Ritchie are the only chances.

[Oxbow]

Penalty? Really?

[Blackmac]

What the fuck. This is ridiculous.

Ahem, Glasgow fans, they tend to look at only one team

[Sandstorm]

Richie should go up and try to catch it, slapping it back and you lose the 50/50 call.

[Slick]

“Wasn’t in a position to compete for the ball” - he won the fucking ball

[Big D]

It's a penalty but Kayser "he's not in a position to compete" after Ritchie clearly plays it made me chuckle.

It was a fair competition for the ball, Ritchie wins it. That’s a shocker of a call.

[Enzedder]

Good - no card, penalty and move on with the game. Somebody could clone him, shoot all TMO's and the games will improve instantly

[Oxbow]

Nothing in that.

[Blackmac]

They are having a laugh. The guy is on his back.

[KingBlairhorn]

Some bullshit calls have made this a 20 point game but ultimately France the better side. Scotland easily outplayed in the forwards, not strong enough in the bench.

[Enzedder]

See what I mean about shooting all TMO's?

Element Freak better watch out.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Not in a million years was that foul play.

[Blackmac]

Keyser is almost hysterical.

[Gumboot]

TMO GTFO

[fishfoodie]

Do the Scottish lads want me to forward on Hansen's correct assessment of how Reffing works, so they can put it on a loop ?

[LenCohen]

The IRB really are trying their best to ruin what is an amazing sport

[ScarfaceClaw]

Take the shot at goal.

[Sandstorm]

Hmmm….I reckon player is trying to throw the Frenchman onto the 9 to disrupt the clearing pass.

[Big D]

France deserved winners of the game and 6N.

Not feeling massively deflated as a Scottish fan after this either though. We haven't folded and I don't think it was a performance that merited a 19 point defeat.

Shout out to Zander for playing 80min to a high level.

[KingBlairhorn]

Congrats France, best team in the tournament by some distance.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I see it France didn't need the help that they got.


Well done France on the 6N Championship, best team won it.

[Gumboot]

Well done France, deserved winners.

Shame you're only sending your B team to NZ.

[Lady P]

Congrats France, best team in the tournament by some distance.

Indeed, easily the best

[fishfoodie]

Bad luck Scotland; a good performance & the margin certainly flatters France who shouldn't have had 15 men on the pitch.

France did enough to win, & deserved to be champions, but that was a very frustrating match to watch.

[Lady P]

What asshat signed off that Samsung Galaxy advert?

[Punter15]

Well done France, easily the best team in the tournament.

Fine with our effort - I’d far rather watch us go down giving it a lash and trying to play some exciting rugby than being boring and playing to whatever plan the spreadsheet says.

Tom Jordan take a bow.

[BnM]

I thought Ibanez wasn't working as French Manager any more.

[Jim Lahey]

There’s going to be some very very tired lads tonight.

Talking about the Scottish posters complaining about referees?

Sure its their national favourite past time, they are bound to have a bit of stamina. Reckon they can whinge for a few weeks yet

Twat

It will come around. Ireland don't have the players to retain the ranking they have and sure as Stevie Ferris complains like fuck about something regarding Ulster, Irish supporters will start complaining about referees when results go agin them

I think you'll find every reasonably minded rugby fan will be aghast at the officiating we have just seen but you carry on being a bit of a tool.

[Soapy]

Ok France were the deserved winners. But seeing the consistently excellent Holly running touch earlier today and the consistently awful Carley getting repeated top table gigs is galling.

[topofthemoon]

How many phases of playback he go back?

There were two rucks after the tackle on Kinghorn.

Three rucks after the elbow in touch but since the new TMO Protocol came in in January they can now go back through the entire attacking passage of play for decisions on in touch (and knock ons and forward passes).

It's Matt fucking Carley.

Teams complain about him after they've won 78-3

[Biffer]

Carley is a poor ref, & like we all knew would happen, the 20min RC & the bunker is a total cop out.

The bunker will probably say that the little nudge from Lucu was the difference & Mauvaka wasn't in control, but fundamentally it was off the ball, the ref had already blown his whistle, so if there's foul play he is supposed to use the RC, & not bail to the bunker.

You can’t totally blame Carley for that. It had a full review. It was a clear red card for me and I can’t understand on what basis it wasn’t given. Low danger?! He head butted him after the whistle.

It just shouldn't have gone to the bunker at all. He should have asked if it was after his whistle, which it clearly was, & then as he'd already decided it was foul play his path was clear.

That's it right there.

It was a deliberate act

It was after the whistle.

It was a headbutt

I what universe isn't that a red card. It was a red in 1989.

Correct - one review and I stated that is a nailed on red card. It wasn’t a head clash with mitigation it was a flying headbutt. I will be amazed if the citing commissioners don’t have another look at that. Also I didn’t realise that straight red = no 20 min replacement is going to lead to ref cop out!!(as we are already seeing)

Another win for the officials tonight.

Scotland unbeaten again this 6N against the other sides

[Paddington Bear]

So two years running it is a trip to Twickenham that prevents a grand slam - that feels alright

[Biffer]

Anyone noticed its only Irish posters shouting about us talking about referees?
