Copper wire was invented by two Scotsmen fighting over a penny so the legend goes.
It is a bit of a harsh cliche though, Indians and Asians are much tighter with their money
But Scots are so miserable looking and ugly to go with it.

Besides which, not like they're actually Scottish.
Good point. Just like how so many of the Wallabies aren't even Australian (oh hello Quade, did you finally get your papers done?)
Ha, burn @NTA
Not really, when you consider how wonderful Australia is. We're a cultural melting pot. People WANT to come here.
Scotland is a shit hole with too many rangas and too few genetic strains. Their own people don't even like playing for them so they have to fly in extras.

And here was I thinking the redhaired element was from the steppes of central Asia https://historycollection.com/unexpectedly-violent-history-red-hair/
Anyway, Scotland is a fantastic place for drinking. So it's alright by me. -

4 minutes to set a scrum however....
Nah. Bloke goes up in the air to catch a cross kick, gets it wrong/is slightly impeded and knocks it on. Bollocks to that result. When they were going to the TMO, I thought hang on that's a bit unfair, the Jock was going for the ball and didn't really impact things, this is bullshit and then fuck me it goes the other way. PT and a yellow. That was complete bollocks. Oh and only a penalty five minute later for a dangerous neck roll.
Ben O'Keefe is a poor ref and not helped by his reliance on third officials.

Ok. Hogg and Harris (especially) impressive. Scotland second best in the forward battle, but ability to make yards in the backs is something the ABs could look at.
England with a game plan of "kick good possession away just to stay in their half". A better backline would've scored points. Forward would not be happy.
PT and YC, good decision.

Congratulations Scotland but Fuck England blew that
Sinckler was my MOTM
Itoje had 2-3 huge plays which should have resulted in the win, but Youngs handed back the ball to Scotland each time
Not dissimilar to Gibson Parks against Wales
Slade looked the best I’ve seen him, but it did not work with Daly.
England can get better
I’m not sure Scotland can

The dole, scaffolding jobs and drug trade are more lucrative on the GC than Tokoroa I’ll give you that.
The Gold Coast has nothing on the mighty Tokoroa township when it comes to self-advertising!
https://www.southwaikato.govt.nz/our-district/living-here/tokoroa
Located mid-way between Taupo and Hamilton on State Highway 1, Tokoroa is an ideal place to pause for an hour or twoFor an hour or two! If that doesn't make you want to move there straight away nothing will!

Watch again in a week and your view might be less clouded.
LCD quite obviously played the ball by batting it away. Deliberate knock forward AND deliberately making ball dead. No attempt to catch it at all.As for the neck roll? That was the harsh call but happy to live with it for safety sake if that is a consistent call. I couldn’t see any head/neck contact of consequence myself. More a seatbelt throw. Needs to be discouraged though.

What was he thinking? Lost his bearings? Even just trying to catch it and failing would have only led to try with conversion to goal from wide out. And stayed on field.

Didn't say he was faultless, but he made a couple of significant plays at significant times which should have led to scores and put England out of sight.

yeah it's easy to see his value. He does good things at key moments.
Don't reckon he was offside for that charge down penalty either.

When they were going to the TMO, I thought hang on that's a bit unfair, the Jock was going for the ball and didn't really impact things, this is bullshit and then fuck me it goes the other way. PT and a yellow. That was complete bollocks. Oh and only a penalty five minute later for a dangerous neck roll.
Ben O'Keefe is a poor ref and not helped by his reliance on third officials.
Watch again in a week and your view might be less clouded.
LCD quite obviously played the ball by batting it away. Deliberate knock forward AND deliberately making ball dead. No attempt to catch it at all.As for the neck roll? That was the harsh call but happy to live with it for safety sake if that is a consistent call. I couldn’t see any head/neck contact of consequence myself. More a seatbelt throw. Needs to be discouraged though.
What was he thinking? Lost his bearings? Even just trying to catch it and failing would have only led to try with conversion to goal from wide out. And stayed on field.
i read a quote that said he didn't even know that was a rule
Talk about a player trying to make himself look dumb, how could he be a profeesional rugby player and not no a basic rule?
Rules are overrated. Andrew Merhtens had a long and successful career without knowing you have to make tackles sometimes

@nzzp I didn't have a problem with it once I saw it and the correct call was made.
4 minutes to set a scrum however....
Nah. Bloke goes up in the air to catch a cross kick, gets it wrong/is slightly impeded and knocks it on. Bollocks to that result.

Find that a little funny as I was such a rugby law nerd back in the day, and had probably been penalised for most random things by my mid-teens, that I pretty much knew the laws backwards back in the day.

Guess in the heat of the moment, it's an instinctive reaction. A lot of ex-League players do dumb things in Union which are OK in League - Craig Gower & SBW come to mind

Were they easier then? I admit I find it hard to keep up with all the rule changes and how they vary rom competition to competition, NH to SH.
