Very surprised Scotland got that turnover penalty, would have bet what little I have left Dempsey would have been pinged

And when he works that out he can have a go at Scottish offsides or not rolling away from the ruck.

There was no way that was a penalty to Scotland.

That try comes from a penalty to scotland where a "Scottish" player roles into the Italian players trying to clear out.

That's twice where Italy have gone on the blind side... where Scotland outnumbered them. No heads up

Posted: **Sat Mar 09, 2024 2:32 pm**

what a kick over and try.....go on Italy

Posted: **Sat Mar 09, 2024 2:33 pm**

Defensive positioning poor there. If Kinghorn is wide then Horne/Steyn has to sweep better than that.

Posted: **Sat Mar 09, 2024 2:33 pm**

Well this is an exciting start!

10-14 Scotland 16 mins

The Scotttish player already had hands on the ball and survived the 1st Italian hitting the ruck

Scrabbling around on his hands and knees also helped.

Italy still get minnow reffing.

Silly penalties and a lack of clarity behind the pack killing Italy.

For the second player arriving, by which time the penalty offence had been committed. The 1st Italian had a clear unimpeded shot at Fagerson.

Edit: plus Gardner is an awful ref.

Well in Brex!

I'm exhausted just watching these guys run....good on both teams

Enjoying watching the tempo of Italy today

Posted: **Sat Mar 09, 2024 2:56 pm**

Horne is having a shocker in my opinion. Wild passes, expecting too much protection from ref and that really poor pen

Posted: **Sat Mar 09, 2024 2:58 pm**

VdM had Ange round the neck there?

Posted: **Sat Mar 09, 2024 2:59 pm**

VDM on wee Ange is very much men vs. boys stuff.

Another penalty to "scotland" following successive rucks with "scots" falling on the wrongside.

Posted: **Sat Mar 09, 2024 3:01 pm**

Italy still too inaccurate and lacking penetration at crucial moments.

Menoncello and Brex has the makings of a cracking centre partnership.

He's letting Italians fly off their feet to clear out and at one point after a counter ruck come from the side and pick it up.

Hardly surprising one of the worst refs in international rugbyb isn't very good.

Agree, he’s slowing everything down with his wild service

Decent half of rugby, you hardly notice breaks in play when you switch to watching sex tourism by western 50 somethings at the bar.

Italy are so frustrating to watch, they do 90% right then do something colossally stupid that was totally avoidable. The Christie interception being case in point

They got 3 points out of that though

True, but it's also less than they expected, but keep it on the vacation thread

It is but you'll get told it isn't because he's a good tackler for Galsgow.

Dread to think what would happen if he has to move to 13.

Yeah, I just find professional sport increasingly fake/plastic. More akin to WWE sports entertainment though with less spandex. Players like Finn Russell are fighting a losing battle against soullessness and money. The best league in the world tm in football being won 6 out of the last 7 times by a team funded by an autocratic state with 114+ charges against it.

Despite Italy making plenty of mistakes, you just get a feeling Scotland won't do enough to take proper advantage
