Scotland v Australia 12Nov16 Saturday

[Micheal]

Those penalties are such a fucking stitch up. The tackle was made and its immaterial. Play on. They literally stopped running when they ran into each other.

Edit: it seemed like Genia's pass was supposed to go to Foley and I think that caused a bit of confusion.

Agree about the penalties - the offside blocking/running off the ball at most kickoffs (or the blocking on Hodge pointed out at the start of the match on a Scotland break) has more of an impact than an obstruction like that. They are just ignored though.

They're throwing runners at Hodge's right shoulder. One of them will squeeze out an offload and we'll be in trouble. Our defense seems stretched in relatively simple open play.

Squeaky Moore is as slow as a wet weekend.

Oranges: the Single Malts lead the Men in Gold by 17 - 10.

Scotland getting away with a bit at the breakdown. we had a lot of momentum then and one of the Scots hand his hands all over the ball which slowed Genia's ability to get to it immensely.

"Hands off"

Yeah well fucking penalise him then.

 

[Teh Other Dave]

Hands in the ruck...

 

[Twoilms]

Scuse me, pretty sure you cant tackle the half back

Scotland getting away with murder here. This is frustrating officiating. They've got their hands on the ball at every ruck.

 

[Teh Other Dave]

The ref's letting them get away with a lot of shit at the breakdown - in the side, hands in after the ruck's formed. So yes, I guess you could say that Scotland are playing like the All Blacks.

Nah, they didn't touch Genia.........

Sloppy breakdown work from the Wobs.

 

[Grandmaster Flash]

Have Scotland thrown a straight lineout yet?

 

[Major Spliff Biggins]

I think the most diplomatic comment I can make its that the referee is giving Scotland A LOT of latitude at the brakedown... Hands, rolling away, entry, offside line...

 

[Micheal]

Got to say going off his first half performance I think the Speight experiment isn't working.

I hope he proves me wrong in the second half though.

 

[Teh Other Dave]

That said, Scotland are making their own luck; for a lot of that half, they have been guard at the breakdown, and their backs are asking questions of our defence.

All well and good for us to look dangerous against some pretty ordinary opposition, but gee, we look stretched against any quality. We need to stop hanging around our cricketers.

 

[Major Spliff Biggins]

And the line outs are as straight as Elton John.

But still, plenty of pluck from Scotland. Australia are flustered and getting out enthused.

A lot of work to do in second half.

 

[Micheal]

They're shooting up quick as well - wouldn't mind seeing a chip over the top to sit them down.

 

[Major Spliff Biggins]

Is Justin Harrison smashing sedatives by the handful?

 

[Twoilms]

Meh they are getting away with it at the breakdown but the calls usually go with the dominant team and that sure as shit isnt us. Defense welsh-like, backline look confused going forward. Scotland targeting our weaknesses superbly.
