Scotland v Wallabies at Murrayfield 12.40am Mon 25 Nov

[Shiggins]

what the hell is taking so long. it's a very obvious try

 

[Tomikin]

Yep, new defensive coach/structure needed!

The defensive structures fine, it has been last few weeks.. but if players start falling of tackles it goes to shit

 

[Steve_Grey]

Too much faith in JAS to save us, and no plan B.

 

[Tomthumb]

Like I said more to do with us still being poor and inconsistent than Scotland being great

Yeah. 4 straight tests on your is hard to keep the intensity and levels high

 

[Super Hooper]

The referee asked 20 times if he could award the try...

 

[Shiggins]

why is everyone so butt hurt. our depth is being tested hard in this game. we have falling off a lot but this game was never a win in the bank. be happy with the improvement we have seen over the last few weeks s

 

[Shiggins]

nothing penalty there. the ref is certainly a stickler for everything. I was surprised he let scottland lay on the wrong side of the ruck so much as he has pinged everything else

 

[Goosestep]

League Media will have a field day this week .. “wallabies nothing without JS”

Exactly, Scotland are good we had alot of changes, we didn't train all week.. I think we found we have to play a jumping 6/8 when we play Skelton.

The late changes have not helped us.

Having to rest McReight has definitely hurt us too.

I wont be surprised if there is some illness going through the team as well.

Scotland have very effectively shut us down but I do think the absolute clusterfuck of the ruck has not helped. We haven't adjusted to it to secure our ball (which has been one of our strong points)

 

[Shiggins]

Fin Russel kicks the ball away after a penalty awarded. he gave Scotland 10m for something similar in the first half.

 

[Shiggins]

Scott's given away about 10 penalties in 30 seconds not 1 called. bit of bullshit at the end. put his whistle away then. scottland had their hands all over the ball on multiple occasions in the ruck. even holding Tate's hand. should have been 20-27 score

 

[whitefalcon]

I think we found we can't not play a jumping 6/8 when we play Skelton.

This!! (who would have thought)

This game was a big step back after the last 2 weeks

 

[HooperPocockSmith]

Our full strength 23 is quite different to what we’ve put out today. Quite the unavailable list:
Faesler, TT, Williams, McReight, kerevi, JAS (hardly played today), Paisami, Pietsch,

 

[Shiggins]

game was a lot closer than it looks. tate fucked up big time. could of set a comeback there. should have scored at the end, but the ref who I though had a pretty consistent night and didn't affect the outcome , put the whistle away for some reason

 

[Shiggins]

This game was a big step back after the last 2 weeks

it's going to happen. the team had a few changes and are going to have moments like this as they try to improve. it's expected to be honest.

Exactly, Scotland are good we had alot of changes, we didn't train all week.. I think we found we have to play a jumping 6/8 when we play Skelton.

I think if McReight is injured, and we’re playing Skelton, I’d be tempted to play Uru/Gleeson at 7 and Wilson + Valetini.

 

[whitefalcon]

Yep, new defensive coach/structure needed!

Our defense was actually good in the first half when it felt like we only had about 30% of the ball and Scotland was in our 40/22 for a lot of the half.

 

[Shiggins]

Williams couldn't play due to an illness. something wasn't quite right in this game.
