Scots 1sts vs Joeys 31-31
That was a blinder, stand outs for me Sharples, Joeys 7 and Justice played well. For scots Leo jaques, Charlie Ulcoq, Zach fittler, Henry James and Large on debut all were very impressive. Annoying to have so many injuries but some good heart shown from the scot's team to come back like that infront of the old boys.
First half was completely flat and sloppy from the Scots team but after half time the scots boys looked like a different team, playing to the space, hitting hard and working to get infront to 24-21. Scots warcries noticeably louder in 2nd half and the energy was completely different. After Joeys scored the late try it looked like it was all but over until some good defence and Joeys errors saw Joeys pinned in their own half and eventually a penalty was awarded to Scots. Henry James who kicked 4/4 slotted the kick to get the tie and full time was blown. If scots hadn't had so many handling errors in the first half I think we would have seen a very different result. I don't think anyone would've predicted that result, what a way to start the season for both teams. The rematch will be all time.
