Interesting half. It is nice and reassuring that there are other sides that can rival England for dumb rugby, I’m just surprised it’s the ABs doing it

Looks like we're in for another Foster classic. Hubris.

Scotland playing well. Keep attacking down Clarke's wing and you'll profit handsomely.

AB's just been allowed to compete at will from any position they want.
Huh? They're getting whistled off the park.
Scotlands penalties have been mainly from turnovers created by us, AB's are not getting pinged for just going for the ball from anywhere with no effort to get onside.

Scottish defenders are just flopping onto rucks with no attempt to support their own weight, but the ref's just ignoring it. You should be counting your blessings bro.

Our issue with NZ is 90% psychological. The players are beaten in their heads before KO. If the first half has scuffed the aura of invincibility a wee bit, maybe there’s a chance. I still suspect NZ will end up winning this by a few scores though.

Very worried that they'll collapse as they didn't score there. Scotland just don't seem very good at pick and go.

We are rubbish at pick and go, it’s why I think we should get it wide to Duhan or Darcy after a couple of hits at the gate

I reckon it's the ABs who are struggling with composure, and it'll be interesting to see how they respond if/when the score's still close towards the end. There's just too much dumb in this poorly selected team to have much confidence...

It one point Richie was loitering off the ruck on the blindside. I just prayed Price would see him and give him a breenge.

Some of your fatties are convinced that if they keep trying theyll get better. So they keep trying every year.

Well, they didn’t collapse at 0-14 after 8 mins, which is what I fully expected. But it’s Scotland, so who knows?
