Just watched the game and made a lot of notes. This is what I've taken away from this game.
Coaching: terrible. Some of the substitutions came way too late. Several players suffered from cramp (particularly Mua, Funaki) or minor injuries that seemed to bother the players (esp Lalomilo) and it took ages before they were replaced. The conditions were apparently hot; replacements must be timed better.
Game management: mixed bag. The play still went from side to side too often (esp in the first half), and we just couldn't move forward.
Some really bad handling errors in this game, including unnecessary knock ons. Passing sometimes also sloppy (including from both halves).
Line-outs: went well, both throwing and catching, also after substitutions.
Scrum: there were few in the first half; in the second half we struggled.
Defence against line-out mauls: mixed (there were few of them in the game).
Kicking: goal kicking - mixed results; kicks in play: not too many, but there were some really good ones (from different players)
Tackling: obviously, too many missed tackles. Too many easy scores for the Scots.
Stand-outs: Plumtree, Gregory, Lalomilo (the only reason I left Tupaea out of this list is his missed tackles)
Disappointing: Boshier, Va'ai, Uluilakepa (apart from his early try)
Busiest: Tupaea and Proctor (but not always successful)
Invisible for most of the game: Nanai-Seturo (exceptions were some good runs and a turnover in the 2nd half), Parker
Good bench impact: Williams, Kereru-Symes
-
FYI, the subs that were made during the game:
41' Williams on for Uluilakepa; Grace for Va'ai
51' Kereru-Symes on for Klein
55' Norris on for Dyer
64' Herbert on for Mua; Reihana for Nanai-Seturo
71' Fainga'anuku replaces Lalomilo
72' Carter on for FunakiWithout watching the game and knowing the conditions, the timing of some substitutions may seem okay, but they really weren't.

I think the WR stream on YouTube also went down, so probably not a Spark issue.
