Scotland v Springboks - Raeburn Shield Match

[Victor Meldrew]

Finn Russell's kicking could be costly.

[MiketheSnow]

And just like that

Sco 15-21 SA
60 mins

Russell misses again

Left 9 very kickable points out there

[Tordah]

OVerzealous going for the corner there. Punished, Scotland.

Correct call, wrong jumper

I don't know, their lineout has been under pressure the whole time. Problem is, so has their scrum and their kicker seems a bit shit, too.

[Tordah]

Pollard shanks one, 15-21 Springboks lead, 15 mins to go

[Tordah]

Scotland getting dominated in every facet of the game apart from kicking for territory. Boks with another chance to make it 24-15

[Tordah]

Malcolm Marx only been on since minute 40 but should be MotM. 27-15 coming up

Dellande for me

SA are clearly the superior side. Scotland have shown today that they aren't up there with the top teams.

SA by far the better team but if Russell had kicked his points and played the match in SA 22 it could have been a very different outcome

Russell a liability today

[Tordah]

All over. Finn "Dan Carter" Russell not having his best game, but not helped by Scottish forwards getting absolutely dominated.

[Davesofthunder]

Yep, it did have a feeling of inevitability.

Well, aside from 50 odd caps for Scotland, two Lions tours and generally being lauded as the most creative 10 in the UK you’re definitely right.

International player who blows very hot & very cold.

That’s not a Test player in my book.

Spencer v Mehrtens springs to mind.

[MiketheSnow]

And his inability to take the game by the scruff of the neck fucked up my accumulator

So if you have an off game you’re not a test player ?

That’s one Lions tour where he played less than 30 minutes of test rugby and one where he was a convenient geographically related midweek cover. Let’s not polish his CV too much.

Are you sure lauded is the right word?
