Scotland v Australia

[NTA]

Very interesting to see Scotland change tactics at ruck time in the third quarter - standing off the contest and relying on line defence instead.

Stupid penalty from Tupou in the 78th minute. Seriously, on your knee just fucking leave it you tool.

Anyway, I'll take that win. We had a lot of the running and the rust wasn't as evident as I thought it would be.

Periods of attack and defence were good and there is something to build on.

Close game!!

Breakdown was a shitfight man. Scots applied huge pressure, and the wallabies just didn't adjust to throw another number in there.

Aus started well, fell away, but the Scots never put them away and paid for it.

That last kick was a shocker.

Enjoyed it. Scrappy but both teams had a fucking crack and put together some good code at times. Wallabies have not fixed their discipline and it will absolutely cost them.

Watching the replay now. That try from Blair Kinghorn for Scotland was awesome.

@Stargazer yeah it was!

Lucky he scored it given the support players he ignored...

[Stargazer]

So Young gets a yellow for a bicep against the head; why does it matter whether it's a shoulder or bicep? Ref says it's not as dangerous. Bollocks.

Also, why didn't they look at the head clash? Not saying Foley should have received a red card for it, but if there was consistency, he should have been sent off as well, at least with a yellow.

That Scottish yellow was a red All day.

It's very easy for guys of my age who their whole career saw that as an awesome clean out to ask what else could he have done. But shit is different now

When I coach at any level it's all about entering a ruck with small fast feet so you have control. That was long feet and he dived head first. It was a shit piece of play.

Players, and especially coaches and commentators are not adapting to the new world.

[Stargazer]

Kinghorn butchers the shot at goal. Wallabies very, very lucky.

[Stargazer]

I guess the Wallabies deserved that luck, considering Young should have received a red card.

So much flair. It’s just the Scottish way.

Unlucky loss but keeping the powder dry for the ABs so you can’t blame them for falling over vs Oz really.

Kellaway went to Scots College I think.

That's awesome

Just saw Young's yellow card from this game. What an absolute shocker. That's as clear a red as you'll see.
