[I like neeps]

Bollocks.

[tc27]

Ahh for fucks sake that should have being a try.

Great fight back after that first 10 though

[Paddington Bear]

Interesting half. It is nice and reassuring that there are other sides that can rival England for dumb rugby, I’m just surprised it’s the ABs doing it

[Gumboot]

Looks like we're in for another Foster classic. Hubris.

Scotland playing well. Keep attacking down Clarke's wing and you'll profit handsomely.

I’m pretty excited to hear all about the learnings/

You stayed up for this??

[Tichtheid]

Shoulda woulda coulda etc but it’s a shame Graham’s foot was on the touchline, that would have been a terrific finish

Nah mate, got about 4 hours sleep. Gonna be a wreck later, but it's only Monday so fuck it.

[Yr Alban]

Cannot. Allow. Myself. To hope.

That way madness lies.

That's not Clarke's wing. It's Darcy Graham's.

Yours to lose from here. No pressure.

[Blackmac]

It may be my one eye but it doesn’t look like the breakdown is being reffed the same way for both teams

AB's just been allowed to compete at will from any position they want.

Huh? They're getting whistled off the park.

Scotlands penalties have been mainly from turnovers created by us, AB's are not getting pinged for just going for the ball from anywhere with no effort to get onside.

You've not noticed?

Scottish defenders are just flopping onto rucks with no attempt to support their own weight, but the ref's just ignoring it. You should be counting your blessings bro.

There's a point to this?

Yours to lose from here. No pressure.

Our issue with NZ is 90% psychological. The players are beaten in their heads before KO. If the first half has scuffed the aura of invincibility a wee bit, maybe there’s a chance. I still suspect NZ will end up winning this by a few scores though.

Very worried that they'll collapse as they didn't score there. Scotland just don't seem very good at pick and go.

We are rubbish at pick and go, it’s why I think we should get it wide to Duhan or Darcy after a couple of hits at the gate

I reckon it's the ABs who are struggling with composure, and it'll be interesting to see how they respond if/when the score's still close towards the end. There's just too much dumb in this poorly selected team to have much confidence...

It one point Richie was loitering off the ruck on the blindside. I just prayed Price would see him and give him a breenge.

Some of your fatties are convinced that if they keep trying theyll get better. So they keep trying every year.

Or have Duhan do the pick and gos as he's a beast.

Well, they didn’t collapse at 0-14 after 8 mins, which is what I fully expected. But it’s Scotland, so who knows?

[OomStruisbaai]

vd Merwe & Schoeman enjoy playing the All Blacks

[tc27]

Scotland good enough to win this IMO. They just need to believe and the crowd need to get behind them.

[PCPhil]

Van de McMerver really cutting through but his team not sure where he’s going.

[Blackmac]

Oh, the hope!!

It's strangely quiet considering the score and the opposition.

[convoluted]

20 unanswered points is beyond dire.

[Blackmac]

That's not high. Darcy forced his arm up.

[FalseBayFC]

Macaroni pies?
Is that a Scottish thing?

Make the ABs change into a white kit.

[Paddington Bear]

If the ABs carry on like this, Scotland could win this by 20

[Jock42]

Put 6 beers down the range, Scotland by 12.

, you go pal

Tic toc

[Blackmac]

Ritchie is having a field day.

[I like neeps]

Ffs great line Hogg so close.

[I like neeps]

Never a knock on! Murphy was about a mile away.

[sockwithaticket]

I think you could have given a few penalties either way at that ruck.

[Ymx]

How do I find the baa baas game
