Scotland vs Wallabies

[TheNatalShark]

Aussies made easy meters there

Edit: almost seems deliberate no front up tackles

[Blackmac]

Wouldn't have bet on Graham getting a maul turnover.

[Paddington Bear]

10 scoreless minutes - whilst we wait for a try, are there any other exclaves we can discuss the constitutional status of? Kaliningrad anyone?

[Big D]

Three penalties already. Need to be better disciplined.

Thought the squint line out was a harsh call.

[TheNatalShark]

Reffing been good so far I think, though nothing too controversial.

[Blackmac]

Error strewn so far from us.

[Big D]

That is why backs going the maul is daft.

Leaves the backs move completely compromised.

[TheNatalShark]

Feels like it is going to be a long day

[Slick]

Feels like it is going to be a long day

Does a bit, we just can’t afford this many mistakes in good positions. At our best we take a decent few of them

[Paddington Bear]

Aussie kicks in behind look very very dangerous.

Games like this we miss the ball carriers up front that others have. Means everything ends up a bit frantic.

They do when you have Duhan wandering about looking lost

[Big D]

That's a shocker by Finn.

[Slick]

Bit harsh on the Aussies at that ruck

[Big D]

Bit harsh on the Aussies at that ruck

Nah they were all their feet.

That's a good throw by Ashman but shocking by the Aussies to be beaten off the line there.

[TheNatalShark]

White doing much better at getting the ball away after the 5 second ping in SA game

[Big D]

Ref is now letting squint throws go having called one. Don't mind it so long as consistent here on out.

[TheNatalShark]

Diabolical from Scotland not to convert there, line not being reset, one up runners or pickers, nothing of threat

[Blackmac]

We have looked very pedestrian in attack this autumn.

[Slick]

Didn’t look like a knock on to me

[Big D]

We have looked very pedestrian in attack this autumn.

Every time Darge gets it he is indecisive as are others but noticing him more than some.

You are bang on

[Slick]

We really need a score from here

[Blackmac]

Sums up our game that we haven't had a scrum yet.

[Slick]

I am finding these maul calls a bit odd

[Paddington Bear]

Exceptionally tough watch that

[Big D]

Two evenly matched sides who know it's a game within their gift to win.

[Slick]

Odd half, quite compelling. Always feel we will be punished if we don’t take all our chances.

Passing seems strangely inaccurate across the team. Kinghorn looks very dangerous if we can find him a decent bit of space.

Sione seems to be really upsetting the Aussies with some sledging. Which is quite delicious

[Jock42]

I am finding these maul calls a bit odd

My understanding is that it's about the ball being playable, as neither ball has been available it's turned over.

[Slick]

Exceptionally tough watch that

I’m quite enjoying it

Once he blew the first one they should have learned their lesson but hey, it's Scotland.

I think it is but he blew up that last one the instant it hit the ground. Also thought there is a difference between a maul full of puffing fatties and a dynamic drive from a collision

It’s not a ploy

I know but as soon as Kinghorn tried to power through the tackle rather than go down you knew the outcome. They should too.

Hmm, think that’s a bit harsh

[Paddington Bear]

I can see the argument it is compelling if you’re supporting one of the teams involved, as a lot of England games have been recently. But as a spectacle you’ve got Oz either kicking it either two phases or being turned over, and Scotland going through phases not achieving tonnes. Too much whistle as well

Possible, but you expect pros to react to these outcomes better than we would.

[OomStruisbaai]

Surprise to see some decent scrumming from the Wallabies

To be fair, he's been forced to whistle by the amount of Scotland mistakes.
