John Lambies Doos Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 This has been brutal. Weather ain't helping tbh. These conditions will be a good test for this Scotland team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Argentina really nullifying the Scottish attack. SA did it last wk albeit with more physicality. Teams starting to counter our flair 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Quite like this referee. Seems quite competent, happy to give players the benefit of the doubt where required and talks the players through it. Also, is it usual that the touch judges switch sidelines? Looked like Nigel Owens (again quite why he's not refereeing a different test today seems odd to me) was on the far side in the first half and the near side for this half? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S7C Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) Deserve to lose this I think. Looks like we're going to hold out though. Edited November 24, 2018 by S7C 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 This is a great old fashioned game. Tough, and good ones to win. Thoroughly enjoying this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy Snake Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I don't understand why Laidlaw is still on. Surely Horne would have benefited from some game time? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggy Snake Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I thought the second half was better but still pretty grim. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggy Snake Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) Watched the England game back. Farrell got away with another shoulder charge, in a position that would have meant a penalty try & yellow card. Peyper didn't go to the TMO, and nor the TMO flag it up. Australia went back to their recent pish after that. https://twitter.com/RugbyLAD7/status/1066357134873497600 Edited November 24, 2018 by Jaggy Snake 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Pretty poor game today. Argentina probably would have won if they had taken their kicks.£5 for a bottle of tennants though.[emoji38] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland would have won. Unsure of your kicking point. Too much Tom English perhaps? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 They had lots of possession of the first half. Like us they lacked some spark. They missed some easy kicks tbf and if they had went in ahead we would have been struggling. Hastings was poor made three mistakes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) Not the best game, but it's the type of game we tend to lose, so delighted we saw it out against really tough, dogged opposition. It will be good for us going forward. On the Laidlaw/Horne point, with the game that tight, we needed Greig on the pitch to give an element of control. As much as I'd love to see Horne on the pitch, that wasn't the game for him. Farrell really lucky again in the England game, Peyper suggesting that the Aussie ball carrier had dropped his shoulder as well was utter nonsense. He's allowed to, the tackler is not. Australia were shite though, but England will no doubt think they are world beaters again off the back of it. Wales are getting away with fucking murder again against SA. ETA: even the one-eyed Jonathan Davies has just mentioned he thinks Wales are getting the best of the ref.

same_ol_g35 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Just catching up with all this. Turgid game at Murray field but happy to get the win. As folk have said that's the type of game we used to lose. Farrell needs to be cited surely. That's twice now with blatant shoulder charges. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt as he's from a Rugby League upbringing(as those hits are legal in Northern England Yokel ball). But the more he gets away with it the more he'll do it and he's going to really take someone out or someone is going to absolutely level him. We don't want to see anyone injured so a token ban should nip this in the bud. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm pretty sure my point still stands about his upbringing in the code which was well before that time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
