Edit:Police say inquiries established that no crimes were committed
Why bother with the important bit when it gets in the way of the story.

Just seems to be Italy for now, though there has been nothing from the FFR other than a squad list.
Those dropped include five of the six players interviewed by the police in Edinburgh (Yacouba Camara being the only one kept in the squad).
L'Equipe says that World Rugby (via Alain Rolland) has apologised to Wales for the TMO decision at Twickenham.Last edited by ursus arctos; 13-02-2018, 15:37.

Now some rather affecting video of the Spain v Romania match. It leads on to some more traditionally-filmed highlights with more excellent footage of the celebrations at the end.

Scotland team: Stuart Hogg, Tommy Seymour, Huw Jones, Peter Horne (all Glasgow), Sean Maitland (Saracens), Finn Russell (Glasgow), Greig Laidlaw (Clermont Auvergne); Gordon Reid (London Irish), Stuart McInally, Simon Berghan, Grant Gilchrist (all Edinburgh), Jonny Gray (Glasgow), John Barclay (Scarlets, capt), Hamish Watson (Edinburgh), Ryan Wilson (Glasgow).
Replacements: Scott Lawson (Newcastle), Jamie Bhatti (Glasgow), Willem Nel (Edinburgh), Tim Swinson (Glasgow), Dave Denton (Worcester), Ali Price, Nick Grigg (both Glasgow), Blair Kinghorn (Edinburgh).
Scotland unchanged against England but Nel is back and on the bench. They'll be lucky to get anything out of the match imho.

Ireland team: Kearney; Earls, Farrell, Aki, Stockdale; Sexton, Murray; Healy, Best (capt), Porter; James Ryan, Toner; O'Mahony, Leavy, Stander.
Replacements: Cronin, McGrath, John Ryan, Roux, Conan, Marmion, Carbery, McFadden
They've still got a strong spine to their team but there do seem to be some weaknesses. Should be a decent game.

England: Brown; Watson, Joseph, Farrell, May; Ford, Care; Vunipola, Hartley, Cole, Launchbury, Itoje, Lawes, Robshaw, Hughes.
Replacements: George, Marler, Williams, Kruis, Underhill, Wigglesworth, Te'o, Nowell
Two changes for England, Hughes returns at 8 because Simmonds is injured and Marler is available again after suspension. Nel versus Marler is going to be fun in the second half, if Marler has to scrummage straight he's not very good.
