Luckies1874 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Hats off to a fantastic recovery after an abysmal start. Can’t help but feel we should have another 7 pts on the board though. Huge chance at the end, why not throw it wide where we are causing them problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzyonthefence Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Absolutely brutal, Scotland should be out of sight now. Three times we’ve been inches or a few feet from try line and fail to score. Why do we never pass it out wide? Forwards always make a mess of it. They get in our 5 metre twice and it’s two tries. Same old, same old. So predictable what’s going to happen in 2nd half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have had another 21 points but only 3 to show for it, so should be another 18 points (if all converted of course). Great recovery and performance but so, so frustrating.

Fozzyonthefence Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 We should already have this won. Great performance but will we pay for it? Surely NZ can’t play this pish for 80 minutes? Well 70 - first 10 was theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think we’ll face a worse All Blacks performance again. But they’ve been on our 5 metre line 4 times and scored 4 times. We were inches from their try line 4 times and didn’t score any of them. If NZ had the territory and possession we had they would have thrashed us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
