Tazio Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 All being shown on Amazon Prime. Scotland currently playing against Tonga with a few new faces in the team. Christ knows what Tongan mothers feed their children, some absolute units in their team that love the big tackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 And Rufus McLean (great name) scores two tries in his first 15 minutes of international rugby. Not the biggest winger but seriously fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Sausage Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Good performance but Tonga we’re honking. Absolutely dreadful. The big boys from England and France arrive in time for Australia - should be a very even match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi must stay Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Was there yesterday. Scotland kept the egg to the wings, I believe you're more likely to score tries that way. And this is after years of scrutinising the rugby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 Ooooft! Taffs attacking up the line looking good for a try and and idiot runs on the pitch chased by two stewards and potentially distracts the winger. Didn’t look like a protestor just an arsehole. And the cameras beamed his face out on the broadcast as he was being led off. I wouldn’t be showing my face in any pubs anytime soon if I was him as the fans were, rightly, furious.

Captain Sausage Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Was at Twickenham this afternoon. Surprised at how meh such a strong England team was.

I P Knightley Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I'm going to sound like I'm obsessing but does anyone know what's going on with the New Zealand boots? For years, the entire squad has played with plain black boots. Now, they've got almost everyone in identical yellow and pink Adidas numbers except for Beauden Barrett last week (which I took to be to mark his centenary of caps) and yesterday the fly-half and full-back were the odd ones out. It's going to annoy me if I don't find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Always good to get a win in these tight scrappy games. We battled hard, pack got stuck in and we took our chances well We used to lose these games regularly, and winning them is top habit to get into. Next week the SA team will present different challenge. There are some big boys in that team and will take huge effort to win, but confidence seems to be high. Will be opportunity to show how Mish and others play against them without Gatland slowing them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I thought that was an excellent game yesterday for the purist, it was very intriguing and both defences were absolutely superb, I really enjoyed the game and it's good to see Scotland are now a major force to be reckoned with again, it's about time!

While the 53-24 game was brilliant to watch; I think I enjoyed this one as much. Two very evenly matched sides and knowing that one of them is currently ranked 3rd in the world and on a 5 game winning run (including 2 against the world champions) suggested that it was a lot more meaningful.

Exactly mate, the satisfaction of winning this one was immense, I wouldn't be surprised if Australia won at Twickenham next weekend as well, which would really cement our result even further, bring on the Springboks!

I think there's a trade off allowance, where if can't show genuine Barbour; tweed cap + brown brogues gets you the necessary entry credit. Only if worn together iirc. There's a new fast track Dubarry gate. One item of their kit admits two ! The rules changed on red/mustard cords a while back, but tbh - can't keep up with how the game's changing.
