Snobot Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 It was a fleeting and enjoyable moment when a Scottish 15 sat an All Black prop (who always played the hard man card) on his pants 28 years ago. Nothing more, nothing less. I quite enjoyed it in isolation, like I enjoyed many other moments over the years despite our general shite-ness in the years since then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been brilliant, if the video had cut out after the Kiwi bounced off him. Shame he went all St Mirreny on us after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Hugo Southwell did a wee chip down the middle that didn't lead to the concession of a try. It was the highlight of the 2007 Six Nations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 The footage of Hastings flattening a Kiwi is OK, but how about my favourite memory of Scotland’s last soccer World Cup campaign? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajwffc Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Somehow this was a penalty to Australia. I think it was given for a Fijian being off his feet/not supporting his body which the 1st offence(might of still been playing a penalty advantage as well). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I was working Fri morning so had to watch Japan v Russia Fri night. Russia were brave but played like a team with just 2 players at clubs outside Russia. I got 3 hours sleep and watched Oz v Fiji. If Fiji had the legs and discipline to last 80 mins then they'd have won. Argentina v France were 2 teams trying to find form. However a tight game and thrilling end. Could have gone either way. NZ were better than of late but SA still showed they're the only team capable of keeping up with them over 80 mins but NZ managed the game well. We do it again tomorrow. It'll be tough but hopefully Scotland find a way vs Ireland. England should have the BP by h/t vs Tonga and Italy SHOULD be ok vs Namibia. It's only the start but already my sleep pattern is a mess 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 8 hours ago, pozbaird said: Shouldn’t he have laid it off behind him for a team-mate coming up behind his run? Pretty sure I saw players do this in the game today. They take the hit, go to ground, reach behind them and lay the ball out as a team-mate comes up to recycle it. As I say, I’m no rugby union expert, but it seems a bit pish to have that first Kiwi bounce off you, only for you to turn around two seconds later and toss it straight to an All Black. If he had done that in 91, it would have been a penalty. You were only allowed to place it behind you, and not reach out. Lovely to hear Gordon Brown on the commentary on that video though. I remember hearing him commentating on a Scotland tour game on his own, where he just called all the players by their number, and didn't even bother mentioning which team had the ball. He was moved to summariser rather than lead commentator not long after! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 ITV’s coverage is the most tinpot thing I’ve ever seen. They’ve somehow made it even worse than their Six Nations coverage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
