Scotland Vs. Australia

[toryglen-boy]

i gave everyone i right good ribbing this morning, and got choruses of

"you only won because we played as bad as we could, and you played the best you could"

I tell you what though, some of your countrymen are *really* sore losers, i mean i was jumping around all happy, not because we beat Oz, far from it, but because after 27 years, well it kinda meant something.

i see you have the Welsh next ...

Alba Go-bragh!


:P

Oh....sport.....

[renormalised]

We let you win...it's just to lull you into a false sense of accomplishment so as to take the edge off the next 20 or 30 years of bitter disappointment in getting your backsides chewed off:P:P:D:D

Hi Duncan,



Yep the Scotsmen were worthy winners on the night and I thought the standard of the ref was much higher than the fellow who presided over the game -v- Ireland -- that man who was clearly a functionally blind dunce.

Australia were awful in virtually every aspect of the game save the scrums. Here alone we have progressed markedly in the last 2 yrs. Sekope Kepu has shown he will be a star in the future -- a very powerful man in the engine-room. He made two glaring knock-ons but ... When he came on mid-way through the first half, he made a good scrum brilliant.

It still appears to be a pipe dream that we could have a hooker who can throw the ball into the line out accurately when it counts. Stephen Moore is a very good man in general play and in the scrum but can someone please teach him how to throw the ball into the line-out straight sometime before I die? Will Genia was also very good and I think we really missed Pocock out injured.

The Wallabies only have themselves to blame for this loss, too much dropped ball and attacking opportunities squandered. We had 3/4 of the ball and 3/4 of the territory but still managed to loose. The Scottish defence was very good (all credit to them) but I don't think it was so good that it forced all those errors, we were simply abyssmal in a game that never reached any great heights. If we had of played to that standard against the blacks or the boks, it would have been a cricket score.



Best,

Of course the Scots would be proud, what have they won since 1982 anyway?

[toryglen-boy]

but then again, we are one of those few nations, thats doesnt take ourselves over-seriously when it comes to sport

unlike of course, Australia !!


:P

:lol:

And about time Scotland had something to cheer about hey! :thumbsup:
