National anthem time again - The Six Nations Rugby
Good luck to Scotland who start against the English at Twickenham on Saturday evening.
I must have watched van der Merwe's try a dozen times - that instantaneous acceleration from a standing start for such a big guy was just so unexpectedly phenomenal. Judging by the floundering of the first three England players he went past, it was a total surprise for them too.

What a 2nd half we were ruthless. Can we do something in Paris?

We will know in a couple of weeks.Scotland are a much improved side but have beaten the worst English and Welsh teams i have seen. The French and Irish will be a much stiffer test. But we live in hope.
