It’s fair to say we’re allowed to moan at the ref when it’s so fundamental to how the game panned out. You’re allowed to moan but have you considered stoicism and keepin a stiff upper lip instead? 1 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...

They butchered us at the breakdown, pressure at every ruck, we fronted up pretty well, but never really had a phase where we were on top. I thought they looked tired at half time... yeah... right! I think there are some positives, but we'll need to be at our best, in every game now. Anyway, cmon the Fiji!

Bob in Denny Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 One thing.. the Ref chinned them a few times about so many water , medical staff on the field at the same time, why so many 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Against a team like that you have to do everything right and losing line outs the way Scotland did isn’t going to cut it. There were positives but hard one to take. Fiji getting into their stride now, nothing better than watching them when they are on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 The biggest fear for everyone else has to be that Fiji now look like they can be arsed trying as hard at 15s as they do at 7s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I've not looked at the schedule - do we want South Africa to batter Ireland physically and mentally so that they are carrying a few knocks and have the mental fragility of facing elimination after all the hype, or is it better if they beat South Africa by loads and we can get through if they rest half their team for the Quarter Finals? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Heard it somewhere that the best rugby tactic ever invented is “give it to the big Fijian lad” and Fiji are pulling this off perfectly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
