Scotland V Aus

First topic message reminder :

It's quite simple, Scotland have the set peice to absolutely dominate. The weather is poor, and Aus have an uninspiring backline for their standards. Scotland have the beef, and the preperation, Aus have 6 debutants!

Surely this game can only go one way?

Oh please no please tell me they wont...scrum in aus half 4 minutes to go ....

Tattie

Look at the scrum/lineout stats, Aus have been excellent in that facet, Scotland very poor!!!

Why insult? I mean even the Blues score tries from time to time.

To go for the win or stay for the draw...

God this is painful

Wait of rthe 80 minutes then take the DG

Is it still 6-6??

Painfull, but if Scotland get a pen here... HISTORIC!

There you go Scotland, the chance!

Wow scrum on aus 22 hooters gone...do they kick straight to touch or talke a risk going for the win

According to the BBC website but then again, when has that ever meant anything accurate?

yes 6 - 6 Scot scrum 25m out. 80 mins gone!!

6-6 Scotland scrum on Oz 22, with the clock gone 80. Time for someone to step up!

General play has been poor from Scotland all through the game, they are not getting to the breakdown quick enough. I can imagine them spilling the ball after this scrum.

ref bottled it

Dirty cheating ref, that was a stonewall penalty!! Aus wheeled then came in from behind and played the ball!!!

Where is Dan Parks when you need him?

GOT IT... to win it... Come on Laidlaw!!!!!!!!!

I can't watch.

COME ON LAIDLAW

Oh well there's the game. If it goes over I suppose a win is a win.

Ref bottled it there not sure how that couldnt be a penalty but scrum again.

penalty this time 22m near the middle....


surely not , laidlaw to become the new wilko

Penalty Scotland........


It's over! 9-6 Scotland. Well done to the Scots, not technically a great game but fun to watch all the same!

The Scottish backline must be elated, stood around for 80 mins and going away with a famous win!!!

Listen to those boo's, the fans have waited forever for an Aus int game for that!!!

Congrats Scotland, completely nullified the aussie attack.

Well done Scotland!

Congrats RDW and all me scottish mates, well done.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!

defense won that game. Backrow put in a hell of a shift

Christ, 9-6 what a game. Good for Scotland though, difficult conditions.

Congrats Scotland

Well done Scotland

yabba dabba DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Well i duly predicted a Scotland win!

Lets see how many others i get right...

That puts Scotland back up to 9th in the IRB rankings

Jesus ....

May have been a bit of a joke fixture but thats a huge huge win for scotland. They can go on from here to become an average side.

Anyone else see Ansboro get thumped???

Well done scotland beat aus and the ref

Bloody awful game, but the Scots pulled it off, well done!

Did you see that headclash .

Australia need to sack B Barnes! And get a better backrow.

Congrats Scotland you lunatics!

Whoa, thats 80 minutes i'll never get back.

Well done the scots, awesome effort Yas played smart, and few pens despite being camped in your 22 for the second half. Oz played dumb rugby and got what they deserved, shame on you oz

An incredible second half defensive performance from Scotland.

Hahaha, Ansbro just headbutted his own player and is off to the blood bin after the match!

Far be it from me to overstate this, but:

Wait...Scotland just took a load of ranking points of Scotland

That means there is more to loss and less to win for Wales.

Now im sad...

that head clash was quality!!!!

Up the jumper for 40 mins. Thats rugby! YES!

Does it put SA above Aus as well?

Well, I said if the ozzies werent careful they could come a cropper. As for the scottish setpiece, the lineout was destroyed y the wind but at the scrum the won penalties all game. The pressure is really on dingo now.
