Jumping into the tackle has been a law forever.

Have attempted to figure the winning scenarios. Simplest is France wins with a win, England wins with a win and a French loss, Ireland wins with and win and France and England losses, and Scotland needs Ireland and England to lose while beating France by 52 points. Go Scotland! Of course there are a bunch of other scenarios involving bonus points, point differential, and the possibility of draws that makes it super complicated.
Anyone following Super Rugby Pacific? It’s been pretty epic so far this season with lots of try scoring and 14 of the 20 games decided by less than 10 points. The Islander teams are more competitive and the Aussies look much better with the reduction to 4 teams. Even the much maligned Western Force are getting in on the action with two insane wins of 45-44 and 45-42.

I wonder if defense is elective in Super Rugby this year.
I have always loved Super Rugby, but wonder if it has swung too far towards the attack side of the game.
A resurgent Aussie Team, built of Super Rugby success would be wonferful.
