Scotland Vs. Australia

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!

Rugby's not a real sport, so it doesn't really count, does it?

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

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,

Les D

I don't care if us Australians are sports mad, at least we're not fighting and killing each other in senseless wars, i'll take sport over War any day!
