And so it came to pass...

Take a bow J'ON - cunning as a shithouse rat.

Well done Scotland, massive defensive effort. It is going to take some time to decipher the Dingoisms after this. Will they give the mic in the news conference to TT as well?

Ben Alexander comes on and the scrum goes backwards....... He may cut it at Super Rugby level, but his scrummaging is not of international standard.

Best head clash ever.

 

[Bowside]

The wallabies are the most mentally fragile team in international rugby. Piss weak in the second half.

Pocock is a poor captain - he does not read the momentum well at all.

I'm sorry but for the last 5 mins the scots sealed the ball off at every Ruck we didn't deserve to win but jaco needs to open his eyes!

Yet it was Slipper who gave away penalty.

Some crucial match official mistakes had a big bearing on this game - 2nd last scrum was wheeled - should have been Wallabies ball.

Scotland's 1st or 2nd penalty was after the player had clearly gone into touch to get the ball back.

Big influence on a game that had less points in it due to the driving rain.

Sorry braveheart, yeah that kick got carried away.

Pocock played an excellent game, but is a losing captain which never feels good.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Credit to the Scots.

Wobs 3-2-1 on this thread?

Hahaha did you see Scotland 11 and 6 head but each other? ROTFLMFAO

 

[Bowside]

No problem with Jaco I thought he did well.

Fucking piss weak mentally this team. All tip but no iceberg.

In those conditions rugby is a lottery. It ended up going Scotland's way, but in reality it was anyone's game.

He did say it was a favour to the Scots. Prescient words.
Well done Scots.
Wallabies unable to convert a lot of territory to points - going wide when they were not on the front foot.
Rank second half after a decent first half from the Wallabies.

Possibly one of the bravest performances I have ever seen.

 

[Mank]

Slipper slips. I thought that last call was a shocker. Boring in?

Just been following commentary online, so haven't seen the scrum, but this screams of another guess by the referee. Why would a team infringe in the set piece at the death knowing they will lose the game if caught? Surely the much much better percentage option is to give easy scrum ball to Scotland and trust your defence?

Bullshit. The better team won.

 

[AussieDominance]

Brave? I would hardly call it brave?

 

[something]

considering australia could potentially have the best team in the world on paper, why do we play so shit as a unit?

The Scots showed us how to play. No lottery about it. They kept in touch and took their chances. we are fragile.

Waratahesque. Defeat snatched from the jaws of victory. At least we got a virtual Force - nice one, Pohman!
