Dunning1874 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Ultimately this has just been a better team having too much quality for us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Shite lineout, butchered a really good chance in the 3 on 1. We were in the game, and yet again a 5 min or so period killed our chances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 We really did not deal with South Africa's rush defence - created too little and got far too many of the basics wrong. Lineout was awful and we were very static on the offload. Russell having a very quiet game didn't help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_carson Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Scotland were not good enough. Red card being missed by the TMO that early in the game may have changed things and we are right to feel aggrieved about that, but the inaccuracy in lineout and an inability to change up the attack to break the rush defence was the biggest problem for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snobot Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Kind of as expected. Darcy f*cked it big style in first half. Whitehouse should be retired from rugby as he is ultimately the one who called the red card that never was. But the difference between 78 mins v 14 cannot possibly be passed off as whinging about referees - it was egregious, blatant and just disgraceful. Gardner was shite, Scotland made too many basic mistakes to stay in the game. Line out was a shambles. Hopefully we can bring that level of intensity against Ireland. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKTID Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 100% it should be a red especially after the England one yesterday but that result was all down to scotlands mistakes, don’t think we won a line out in their half. Gifted so many penalties and turnovers. obviously South Africa are very good and closed down every chance we had but we didn’t help ourselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Their second try shouldn’t have stood either. Boy from the Goonies cleared a path for the scorer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far head contact has resulted in a yellow upgraded to red, a yellow not upgraded, and sweet fanny Adams.

Rugby sometimes dies not help itself. There is a real issue in international rugby of inconsistent refereeing. I wouldn't mind if there were different standards applied during games - so long as those standards are applied consistently to both sides - but far too often that isn't the case. It's not always us that's been hurt by it as well - we've been the beneficiary of some awful refereeing in the past against smaller teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianfranco Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) I’m utterly deflated after that one. I mean there are positives. We stayed in the game and I think we were defensively fine. Both tries were ruthless. The scrum also did better than I thought it would tie the majority of the match. We just didn’t have enough in attack. Each time we had an opportunity it lasted seconds rather than minutes. Losing 5 or however many it was attacking line outs was criminal. Just as you think that particular Achilles heel is fixed. It’s been a while since we haven’t scored a try in a match. It was always going to be a tough ask for us to go through but at least we didn’t lose a bonus point. Do we hope for Ireland to beat SA with a bonus point so they’re already through when we play them?

skiblue Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Can we moan about the ref in this game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 It was hard, it was frustrating, that's what playing SA is. We put them in a game though, and I think we were better than people will give us credit for right now, but I think we saw the winners of this tournament today. The refereeing team were a major factor wether the usual wee guys like it or not, it wasn't just the red card, there were several other incidents as the game went on where we were playing to different rules, but all in all we put them in a game, we were ok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
