I thought the sheer number of offsides was pretty troubling. You were right to point out the second Scottish try probably prevented another yellows. The ref mentioned he was playing two advantages at that point, so the pen count only speaks to the number of offences blown up, there were certainly more that got covered up by being conceded while already under advantage.Margin__Walker wrote: ↑Fri Jun 25, 2021 3:00 pm Ironically, other than the red, I don't think the discipline was that shocking, despite the huge pen count.
Half of them were for holding on when we were attacking, where we were unable to cope with their 7 and 2 getting over the ball. Most of the rest were goal line offsides when we were under huge pressure. There were very few dumb ones. Lifting the leg at the maul is the only one that springs to mind.
Definitely work to do either way though
For all that, we never looked uncomfortable and it never felt like the Scots were going to take the game.
