Only quibble is Tuipulotu starting instead of Redpath, in fact any of our international centres instead of Tuipulotu. I think he has potential at this level (his form in the URC) but he's not there yet.

Ynx, I think we were all quite happy with the idea that there would be a catch-all thread for the matches where people hadn't set up an individual one by Thursday. I thought that's what you said would happen, certainly.

Is there no "leftovers" weekly match thread?

I wasn’t really angry

Yeah was going to do catch all but there were only a handful to do, so thought would keep with the voted option.

Interested to see how this one pans out.

Are Argentina desperate to end the tour on a high or are they exhausted after 12 months of almost continuous rugby and just want to get the match over and done with, happy enough that they beat England for the first time in a while?

Has the manner of defeat to the ABs last week demoralised or energised the Scots?

The forwards should know by now they can be running when catching the ball.

Scotland game management is pish. Had no ball and try a low percentage line out play. Just catch drive and keep the ball.

Meh

Gwen Tui, the attacking machine

Good finish that by Tuipolotu, looked a forward pass though.

Would be a little annoyed if that was given against us without a decent check

That's poor.

Certainly deserved more than the cursory look it was given.

Russell

3 Scottish players drawn towards a ruck that was lost, bit dumb

Is there a side worse than Scotland attacking from 10 out?

Well he couldn't really comment prior to that....

Red

Cheerio

This game will be for the undisputed crown of the stupidest side in rugby.

Well that'll hurt.

It is always just a moment away with Argentina.

Ohh FFS. So sick of these red cards.

Dickson has form for giving apparently blatant reds as yellows in the Prem, so it'll be interesting to see how this shakes out.

Edit - someone's clearly had a word, because he's gotten that right.

How dumb is Kremer? That was never going to be missed. Ritchie was also already well away from the ball.

I'm not sure what he was really trying to do there. He was only ever making contact work his head or neck at that angle.

Ah balls. Just flipped back to see a red card being handed out.

Was it a nasty red, deserved, or an accidental but ticked all the boxes?

Game ruined, dumb clearout

vdM the juggler

Nice from Finn

Duhan did well there.

That was stone cold

That Finn is some player.

Agree but only the players to blame. Too many roided thickos strutting their stuff these days.

Sorry, my red card comment was a little ambiguous. Absolute red, stupid and very dangerous. Frustration is at the players for fucking doing it and spoiling games for us
