Right, point noted so when I next refer to the "non pious" members of the site using the language of the mighty Cheika, because I am a passionate man I do not deserve to be banned or reprimanded in any way. Standards are there for a reason. It also takes real quality to be a leader and why so few are really any good at it for any stretch of time.

He is coach of the Australian National Team, one with a rich history and strong reputation and a brand worth tens of $millions which sponsors align themselves too.

He should rightfully be held to the same standards as the players, if not higher as he is the one coaching those players and setting the standard.

I don’t think us pious members are asking much, just stop blowing up at the media and accusing the ref of cheating..

Scotland by 5-10 I think. They looked very balanced against the ABs last week, and are shaping themselves as a pretty consistent team in recent times with pretty good attack. That said, they have a few injuries, so I think it will be close. The weather will not help us a lot though.

Yeah i don't get it either. Having said that i don't know why he leaves the camera on. No camera, can swear all he wants without people getting on his back.
Edit: although, thinking about it, i guess he probably doesn't care all that much about the hand wringing.

Watching the Scots last few games I think the Wallabies will struggle to make the gain line again, especially in the forwards. Simmons, Robertson, Moore, Hanigan and co had less than no impact, in fact they cost the Wallabies points with their "attacking" play with poor body height a key culprit. The Scot forwards are very very good and I expect even with injuries they will prove yet again more than a match for the Wallabies. I also remain totally unconvinced about the defensive structures that see so much conceded ground and the need for the players to scramble so hard to cover, especially on the flanks. In addition to those points the poor kicking from hand of Foley will again manage to pin the Wallabies in their own half, yet many of us numpty hand wringers have been harping on about it for about 2 years.

Apparently Hogg is out for this game.
Update: Hogg's out. Byron on the wing, Maitland to FB, Jackson to the bench.

Scotland kick off, conceding two easy penalties in the next two minutes, allowing Aus down the field. Hooper elects to kick, Hodge pushes it wide.

Scotland score after a shit pass from Foley that goes to ground, McGuigan kicks the dropped ball along about 50m, then dives on it to score.
Scotland 10 - 0 Australia.

Me thinks Karmichael might be getting some serious game time today with Beale looking out of it with a headknock.

Scots using the rush defence very effectively again. Foley can't handle it and Cheika's Wallabies in general can't handle it.

Wallabies are trying to use a rush defence too but Scotland are having no trouble slipping through it.

So far Scotland's handling is letting them down, otherwise we could be down three tries already.
