The consider themselves a different race apart from others. Calling someone a gyppo or gypsy boy in this way is a derogatory insult based on that distinction and therefore a racial slur. I don't suppose Pom is much different in a theoretical way, but we all know the connotations of calling someone a gyppo. They're looked down on.

Apart from @lloyd giving it a brief mention, clearly the Scotland v France game wasn't on anyone else's radar... despite, unfortunately, giving the championship to England. I say unfortunate because I suspect next weekend would have benefitted from the championship being decided against France - where England would almost certainly still have won it.
Howver, trying not to involve any nationalistic bias (difficult as that is), I thought today's game was a really enjoyable game. Perhaps due to the falibility of both sides, who don't really seem equipped with the defensive skills to grind out an attritional game, I thought it was a lot more fun to watch than yesterday's England vs Wales game, albeit both of these being superior teams. Scotland have a good front row and some decent backs... long time since anyone's been able to say that.
The refs interpretation of the breakdown and scrum really killed this game as an enjoyable spectacle for me. France got screwed by another homer ref IMO the shirt pull try being one of the decisions that were baffling. Great win for Scotland though and deserved it. England will destroy this French team, they're terrible, Italy should have beat them and they're awful. The better games this year have been the u20's-attacking flair (sometimes poor defences help) and some great contests. Scotland are on the up, I hope they kick on. They'll need to beat one of the triple crown nations before they are taken too seriously by me first though. France have great players, they just need a coach that puts it all together, I hope they see what England have done this year and fancy some of that, we need France to be strong they've been shit for years now.

Who would you take from Scotland for the lions? I'd take Hogg. I'm not sure any of the others are better than other Nations have to offer....might be a good time to take a list of who'd be in our 23's so far.

A few will tour but only Hogg is a test lion for me. Even then he's up against Brown and 1/2p (if fit). None of those other names I put above what the other nations have in those positions.
