RWC QF 4 AUS v SCO (Twickenham) 19th Oct 0200 AEDT

AND THE SCRUM PENALTY! YOU BEAUTIFUL SAFFA BASTARD!!!!

 

[Dewald Nel]

Thought you couldn't pick the ball up at the ruck if you were in front of it.

Looked out already to me. But didn't focus on that - maybe it was still in.

 

[ACR]

Game is 80 minutes long. Aussies by 20 still.

Agreed. This is where a cunning team can SLOW THE GAME DOWN. Time pressure will do funny things.

Foley drops his bikkies and the scrum gets mowed, oh boy..

 

[Marcelo]

WTF???!!!

Both teams have changed shirts. Australia is wearing blue shirts and Scotland is wearing yellow shirts

 

[Dewald Nel]

Laidlaw vs. Sanchez. That would be a great kicking battle. Who would blink first?

 

[mxyzptlk]

Crazy thought: Scotland might not be able to play effective 6N rugby, but maybe they can play effective RWC knockout rugby. Go figure.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

another PG to SCO for a scrum penalty (#1 not holding pressure).

SCO 13 AUS 5. 21 minutes gone.

 

[ChargerWA]

That's fucking bullshit. It was a ruck.

 

[mxyzptlk]

Who has the better poker face, Vern Cotter or Princess Anne?

 

[TahDan]

Gotta give the Scots credit, they're playing very well

 

[Viking]

Foley making errors. Costly errors

 

[Bullrush]

Surely he wasn't bound and offside when he picked it up as infromt of the last feet

Probably picked that trick up off Radike Samo

 

[TahDan]

Really Genia? A f##king box kick? I thought we talked about this...

 

[Hugh Jarse]

1/2 a Pooper isn't much of a Pooper.

 

[Dewald Nel]

You friggin retard! Dropping that ball may be costly. 20-5 would have given you half a chance.

 

[ACR]

Bollocks, they get tackled then roll over once and lie all over it.

 

[pjm]

We need McMahon on.

 

[TahDan]

Wallabies never have handled favouritism well, but they look very rattled right now... already pulling out way too many trick shots. Just keep your shit together boys and trust in your systems

 

[qwerty51]

Izzy who? Beale is having a blinder!

 

[Hugh Jarse]

See what happens when you retain the pill and build pressure.

Schmoo over in the corner. AUS 10 - SCO 13 after 30 minutes as the conversion drifts just to the right of the posts.
