[Marylandolorian]

Tough yellow, so far best 1st half of the weekend.

[Blackmac]

Strange game

Strange atmosphere. Basically is none.

That's modern Murrayfield. Half the crowd don't have a clue what is going on so in a stop start mess like this it is hard to build their excitement.

Same everywhere tbf

[Torquemada 1420]

Aus without convict Quaid & Kerevi. Petaia gone. Aus with a yellow. Home adv for Sco. Really can't have any more in their favour for this one.

[Torquemada 1420]

Flake tries to give his usual, gratis intercept try.

[TheNatalShark]

Hooper crying for a yellow.



Gah.

[Blackmac]

Flake tries to give his usual, gratis intercept try.

Give it up, it was fumbled by the receiver

[charltom]

Penalty Scotland surely for Tupou's headbutt!

[Torquemada 1420]

Like I said. Quality game management. - 10 points against 14 men.

[TheNatalShark]

Some pretty poor defence there, a lot of ball watching, Skinner very guilty at the last phase.

[sockwithaticket]

Shit lid, but that was a really good line.

[Torquemada 1420]

Flake tries to give his usual, gratis intercept try.

Give it up, it was fumbled by the receiver

And then does it again to Hogg.... from which scrum Flake's 1/2 hearted attempt at the joint tackle leads to a try.

I know what you mean but what are the other options? Scotland can’t ground a game out in the forwards. They have to be different.

[Big D]

I mean if you are picking holes, we are on our 4th choice hooker who is 21, a LHP covering TH on the bench and missing our first choice second rows, and missing our first choice LHP.

We should be playing better than we are, and it doesn't excuse this shit show, but pretending everything is in our favour when mentioning guys who are injured isn't really truthful.

[PCPhil]

Hooper crying for a yellow.



Gah.

I heard that. Turning into a right whiney @#&£.

Playing in the wrong areas. Conceding 10 against 14 men whilst creating not a single piece of attacking threat is just bad game management.

[ASMO]

Johnson utterly butchered that overlap

[Paddington Bear]

Feisty game, a proper fight can’t be ruled out here

[Torquemada 1420]

Skelton on. Capacity to win the game or do something really dumb discipline wise in equal measure. Sco better hope the latter.

[Ymx]

Full fight is definitely on the cards

[Blackmac]

What was the aussie thinking there

[PCPhil]

Crims will be crims.

[Big D]

Nice to see dumb as fuck penalties not confined to Scotland.

[Ymx]

How did Scotland get a penalty when he wasn’t letting go of the ball??

[PCPhil]

How did Scotland get a penalty when he wasn’t letting go of the ball??

Er, cus it was their ball…..

[Torquemada 1420]

FM. Price tries crash ball against a man twice his size.

[Blackmac]

How did Scotland get a penalty when he wasn’t letting go of the ball??

It was our ball, why should he.

[TheNatalShark]

Fantastic hit and jackle.

Know idea what Price was thinking, even if the dummy succeeded he was running into traffic.

[Lobby]

How did Scotland get a penalty when he wasn’t letting go of the ball??

It was Scotland’s ball, as Aus kicked it out.

[Torquemada 1420]

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

Flake pulls out a superb 50-22.

[Ymx]

How did Scotland get a penalty when he wasn’t letting go of the ball??

It was Scotland’s ball, as Aus kicked it out.

[TheNatalShark]

Good end result from Russell's kick, but it looked like Aus only had front five defending?

[charltom]

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

[Torquemada 1420]

Hogg you useless c**t!!!

[PCPhil]

Being a bit out of touch, who is this new guy, Hogg is it? The last guy called Hogg could run, catch and pass. Not sure about this one.

[Paddington Bear]

Butchered

[PCPhil]

How did Scotland get a penalty when he wasn’t letting go of the ball??

It’s okay. We’ve all been there.

[I like neeps]

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

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

[Blake]

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.

[ScarfaceClaw]

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