Autumn Series Week 3: SCO vs RSA, ITA vs ARG, IRE vs NZ, ENG vs AUS, FRA vs GEO, WAL vs FIJI
It's the scourge of the modern game. Where is the illegality in just being beaten by a stronger pack. The whole idea of the scrum is a contest for the ball with one team having the advantage of the put in. It's has just been bastardised into this bollocks and its terrible for the game

Such brainless play from Scotland in the tight phases.
Spot on. Crooked feeds have made the whole thing pointless anyway.Blackmac wrote: Sat Nov 13, 2021 2:37 pmIt's the scourge of the modern game.

Bomb squad turnovers killing the Scots,
along with dominating lineouts and smashing the scrums. Should be another 20 in front.

Eng will marmalise Aus up front in the same way SA have done to Sco.Lemoentjie wrote: Sat Nov 13, 2021 2:37 pmLess limited than kak Eddie Jones England ready to lose to AustraliaASMO wrote: Sat Nov 13, 2021 2:36 pm Scotland no scrum, no lineout, being beasted in the loose, still only 9 points behind, how limited are SA?

Its funny how we maintain the tactic of playing our strongest XV only in the 2nd half. Koch. Marx. Reinach. Steyn. Lood. All excellent

Makes perfect sense to me, you want your best players on to close out and win the game.boere wors wrote: Sat Nov 13, 2021 2:40 pm Its funny how we maintain the tactic of playing our strongest XV only in the 2nd half. Koch. Marx. Reinach. Steyn. Lood. All excellent

The Scottish right winger looks like he’s running in treacle wearing gum boots.
Christ almighty Scotland. Aimless passes to no one and then a dismal knock on.

Harum scarem not working for Sco.
An interesting tactic. Throw the ball backwards and surely by probability it must find a Scottish player occasionally.

Utter shite
Is Rodd good? I haven’t seen him play. Online stats say he’s nearly 19st. I don’t trust the height/weight stats v much, but he’s presumably able to hold his own generally.Torquemada 1420 wrote: Sat Nov 13, 2021 2:38 pmEng will marmalise Aus up front in the same way SA have done to Sco.Lemoentjie wrote: Sat Nov 13, 2021 2:37 pmLess limited than kak Eddie Jones England ready to lose to AustraliaASMO wrote: Sat Nov 13, 2021 2:36 pm Scotland no scrum, no lineout, being beasted in the loose, still only 9 points behind, how limited are SA?

Scotland are hot garbage. Boks have been useless but the Scots are just playing rank headless chicken stuff.

Well that wasn't predictable. How many scrum pens is that now?

There’s no plan or player awareness. Individuals running randomly and then a wild pass to thin air.FalseBayFC wrote: Sat Nov 13, 2021 2:44 pm Scotland are hot garbage. Boks have been useless but the Scots are just playing rank headless chicken stuff.

That's a tough style when you have forward dominance. Just suicide when you are being bummed.ScarfaceClaw wrote: Sat Nov 13, 2021 2:47 pmThere’s no plan or player awareness.

Difference is all the hype is how world class Russell is, last few games there has been no evidence of that.
