Detournement Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Cummings being available next would be a big boost. Fraz Brown and Rambo as well hopefully, Ashman is maybe a bit light for the Boks at this point. Zander screwing the nut with the stupid penalties will help too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe the negativity in the last 5 mins or so from @Tommy Carcetti My maw is an Aussie, so I was hedging my bets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His nickname of “Bernie” was because he was as energetic and fun off the field as the dead guy in Weekend at Bernie’s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McLean's Ghost Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Aussies are spewing over Hooper's try be disallowed. Even if you say the head contact was minimal and incidental Ala'alatoa goes off his feet which is also a penalty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were about 4 different reasons why he could have been pinged before you even got to the discussion over what colour of card it should be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Back Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Was at the game and have now watched it back. Wasn’t a great spectacle, defences were on top. totally different from the last time we played them at Murrayfield. Still not understanding how the yellow wasn’t a red. After the initial contact he followed through with the shoulder direct to the head as well. our first try was a bit dubious to say the least. Not convinced it was 100% legal. Aussies are a bunch of shithouses and Hooper needs a boot to the baws. Next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I was in the west stand yesterday with someone who had hardly been to a rugby game before. The first half lasted just short of an hour, and the stoppages were never ending. At every single stoppage in the game, water carriers and medics ran on...they must have been more knackered than the players. I can't ever remember being at a game where there were so many ridiculous stoppages. At the end, my mate (while being delighted with Scotland's win) said that he couldn't face watching a game like that every week. It was like American football, it was so stop and start. I think that International Rugby have to look seriously at speeding the game up, it was pretty awful yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game just never got going and to be honest, I thought the ref had to shoulder a lot of the blame for that. At no point did he step in and hurry up lineouts for example. I managed to go for a piss and back before one of the lineouts was taken. Nobody was injured, it just took fucking ages for the Aussies to have a wee conference, then slowly walk to the line. It completely killed the atmosphere as well as every knock on was met with audible groans as we all settled in to see how long it would take the Aussie pack to actually gather at the mark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree with this; Here's my manifesto for the game 1) Lineout; get a lineout clock going from when ball goes out of play, maybe 30 seconds if from a penalty, 40 if opposition put it out. 2) Injured players; rolling replacements at set pieces but restricted to set piece and first phase of play. After that, replacements are out of the game unless made permanent. 3) Reduce the number of substitutions 4) Allow deviation in line when defending box kicks, but no arms, grabbing or shoulder charges 5) Get TMOs the fvck out of making calls unless for the most agregious offences, punching, gouging etc. Other than that, they only get involved with what the referee has asked them to look at. 6) Scrum; one re-set then free kick or penalty at referees discretion. 9) Kick at goal reduced to 45 seconds 10) Maximum caterpillar of one at ruck Yours, the self appointed commissioner of rugby aDONis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I didn't find it too bad tomorrow, as when the ball was in play it was 2 teams at least trying to play some rugby. Its going to be much worse next week when one team actively avoids trying to play any rugby 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The water carrier thing is a farce and has really got out of hand in the last few years. Every stoppage in play now there is a cavalry charge of hi-vis bibs from the sidelines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to be ready for that, but the omens weren't great yesterday where we didn't compete brilliantly for the high ball. They'll undoubtedly target Hogg and Darcy, so I hope that we're working on that all week in training. I desperately hope that every single scrum doesn't lead to a long stoppage, but I'm not holding my breath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
