[Big D]

The Scottish scrum that’s been turned inside out today. And they take a scrum for the penalty. Interesting.

They've won a few penalties from the scrum today. And slipper is in at TH.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Nick White is a bit of a grub isn’t he.

[Torquemada 1420]

And Hogg bolloxes it up again. Has he been this bad for Exeter recently?

I stand corrected. They did well there.

[charltom]

That's the first bounce that's favoured Scotland.

We're getting every decision from Poite to even it up though.

It feels like whoever's defending gets the decision... except that time.

Ehh, what game have you be watching, they have been dominant all day apart from one

[Ymx]

Good try. Edit:

It’s probably that one that’s sticking in my head. Let’s move on.

[Blackmac]

What a finish for a hooker

The one part of their game that has gone perfectly. And that is a great finish. Absolutely top drawer.

[TheNatalShark]

Fantastic for Ashman, deserves it.

Scotland are missing a few up front, so Kebble will be coming on at THP at somepoint so both teams will have LHPs at TH.

[Paddington Bear]

Excellent finish

[Torquemada 1420]

What a finish for a hooker

Yes. Drop Hogg and move that lad to 15.

[I like neeps]

The Scottish scrum that’s been turned inside out today. And they take a scrum for the penalty. Interesting.

We've won pretty much every scrum and just abolished them twice there. Yes. Interesting.

[Blake]

Great finish by Ashman. Great try Scotland.

[Big D]

Cracking finish from a hooker.

Fair play to Ashman. Next to no mins in the premiership for Sale but has stuck in well.

[fishfoodie]

That was lovely. Classic example of the top two inches

[sockwithaticket]

Blimey, there won't be many frontrowers capable of finishing like that.

[ScarfaceClaw]

The Scottish scrum that’s been turned inside out today. And they take a scrum for the penalty. Interesting.

We've won pretty much every scrum and just abolished them twice there. Yes. Interesting. :crazy:

Alright I made a bad call there. Don’t keep going on about it.

[Torquemada 1420]

Jeeesssusss H Kerrrist. Good steal and then walk the ball into touch.

[Blackmac]

What a finish for a hooker

Yes. Drop Hogg and move that lad to 15.

You are wrong about Finn but spot on about Hogg. The more he fucks up the harder he tries, the more he fucks up. Bit of a liability at this stage

Honestly, what have you been watching.

[TheNatalShark]

Bit of a silly carry by pinball there. Much more than even he could chew, would've been fantastic to see what van der Merwe could have done from there if he cut inside with the backline pretty much set-up.

[Torquemada 1420]

Both sides seem intent at running beelines at 45% straight toward touch. Either out or isolated and turned over.

[PCPhil]

Picts backs constantly running away from support. Could cost them.

[TheNatalShark]

Scotland just passing with not a lot of intent in some phases at the moment.

[Torquemada 1420]

That's interesting: not a single passage of play beyond 6 phases.

It’s very hard nowadays to string together more than 5 phases without getting turned over. The quality of jackals at rucks has just become too good.

Unless you are the ABs. Partly because they aren't so keen to die with the ball.

[Blackmac]

Harsh on Watson

[Ymx]

Silly penalty

[Ymx]

It was not a marginal one, despite the commentary on it.

[Paddington Bear]

Aussies were playing for a pen there, gave up on trying to break through

[Big D]

Now 4 LHPs on the pitch.

Edit: wrong, Aus THP back on.

[Torquemada 1420]

FFS. Taken into touch again.

[sockwithaticket]

It was not a marginal one, despite the commentary on it.

Yeah, pretty clear cut case of the tackler not rolling away quickly enough.

[Torquemada 1420]

Beale has been sh*te for Racing. He's likely to help Sco.

[Blackmac]

FFS. Taken into touch again.

C'mon you are being silly now. He got the ball and two aussies a meter from the touch.

[sockwithaticket]

I'd like to see Wright get a bit more ball, he looks lively when he does have it.

[Ymx]

Crucial kick here for Torqs man!

[Torquemada 1420]

FFS. Taken into touch again.

C'mon you are being silly now. He got the ball and two aussies a meter from the touch.

No. I'm not. He made 2m or so before being tackled. He needed to take one of those metres infield.

Sco scrum dominance might just get them home. Aus should be on a yellow warning by now.
