Wallabies vs Scotland - 5 June 2012

If a long pass start out backwards but gets blown forward in the wind, is it called forward?

 

[Braveheart81]

No. Like any pass in rugby, it's the direction it travels out of the hands.

It will most likely but it shouldn't.

Did Timani pick up a knock or was it a planned sub to save him? Would be a strange decision to save players when the game hasn't been won yet even if it's looking almost certain Aus will go on to win this one.

I love how Kafer chimes in with "one of the great TMOs Vinny Munro"

Oz building pressure now, camping Scots in their 10m

Its not a game for wingers.. But I like Tomane.

He made a big tackle and then limped back into the line. He went off soon afterwards. It appeared he picked up some sort of knock.

Good call Doug. Forgot about good old Aunty. Just crossed over and found that they are about 10 seconds ahead of Foxtel. Bit disconcerting.

Would love to be able to mute the Foxtel clown team and listen to the ABC and watch the foxtel vision.

 

[Jiggles]

Got to take your hats of to Scotland there.

 

[FrankLind]

Great defense from the Scots. The Wallabies are showing good persistence but just can't get across the line.

 

[Bardon]

Some great defending by Scotland keeping Aus out. They've handled Higgers very well so far. At the moment it's looking like a poor decision by Pocock not to take the 3 points on offer from the pen. But Aus are still in the danger zone and Scotland can only defend like this for so long.

Just as I type that pen to Scotland and a chance to clear. We all love to see tries scored and we'll be disappointed if there are none tonight but it will be even worse if Aus don't win.

What the fuck is Yucko Peyper doing with this scrum?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Michael Hooper on for his debut Test cap.

To paraphrase Bill McLaren, "they'll be dancing in the halls of St Pius XIII College tomorrow"

 

[Jiggles]

Barnes' organisation of the Backline has been non-existant.

Barnes' organisation of the Backline has been non-existant.

Backs have looked shocked when the ball comes there way. All of them like stunned mullets, except Digby.

 

[Bardon]

Frustrating from Aus there. Huge space on the far side for them to exploit but a number of players including Genia standing around waiting for something to happen and keeping it on the crowded side of the pitch. Also where is the shout from the players standing in the midfield to get them to move it out the other side.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Take the shot

Points critical


Aaark missed

 

[Braveheart81]

If we get another shot from back there, Barnes has to take it.

 

[Ash]

Too hard with a heavy ball and low kick.
