In the wake of Sky’s irritating but sadly unsurprising dismissal of the 11 try thriller – that has been called the “match of the decade” by Iain Morrison in the Scotland on Sunday (link unavailable due to their website not going back as far as, um one day) – so far, the best we can find are these 3 minutes of tries from the Racing Metro site (cheers Fraser G) with some natty music. If there are any more made available, you’ll find details on this post as it is updated.

While I can understand that initially the match might not have been a draw on paper compared to the other matches on that night (Cardiff v London Irish, Saints vs Scarlets), once it became clear there was definitely something worthwhile to watch, a little more time in their highlights show could surely have been devoted to the action from Murrayfield. Especially when most of the other games I saw this weekend were pretty dull and merited little in the way of “highlights”. (If we’ve all got it wrong and there wasn’t actually any footage or the camera conked out half way through I’d be happy for Sky to clear that up). Why complain about endless dull rugby when you refuse to show the exciting stuff?

It reminds me a little of a politician who having stated his position, has to stick to it for fear of people thinking they didn’t know what they were doing in the first place.

Even if it makes them look blindingly stupid.
