Out of interest, is anyone actually watching this on TV??

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:07 pm

Bit of hoops now

by Gibson Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:08 pm

McVisser gets his 1st Scottish try. Excellent. More!

By de way, do ye Jocks ever sleep? RedWine

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:09 pm

Just had a chat request from Jenny Cute 18 - -is that her real name, d'ya reckon? She certainly doesn't live up to her surname if it is!

Gib, welcome, spot of the :midletonveryrare: from the back of the trolley for you, sir. Lads, we'll have to settle for the Spinrgbank 18 Whisky

by **RDW** Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:10 pm

Holy crap that guy was quick! Sign him up!

by IanBru Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:10 pm

Yup, Laidlaw still playing for Glasgow

Watching it on a stream on TV, ja RDW.

Thanks As mate. Very much appreciated. This is great. Scotland have a V2 sticky. Heady days.

Fox1 in Oz... the same dodgy pictures and sound.

by KickAndChase Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:12 pm

What picture...

by KickAndChase Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:13 pm

So this is what it was like growing up in the 50s...

by Guest Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:13 pm

Oh. My. God. This feed from ESPN is woeful! And the commentator's rubbish. Sure he said it was a penalty to Fiji when the ref had clearly whistled for Scotland...

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:14 pm

Nice break, Matt Scott

by **RDW** Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:14 pm

Come on ESPN....

by KickAndChase Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:14 pm

Scott's doing well.

I see Kellock & Gray have switched names.

60s was better, more psychedelic!

by **RDW** Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:14 pm

I suppose we probably shouldn't really complain....I don't think any of us are actually paying to watch it! Whistle

by RuggerRadge2611 Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:14 pm

Is this radio or TV lol? This saffer is a pretty rotten commentator, Funny but rotten

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:15 pm

3 more from wee Greeg

by KickAndChase Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:15 pm

Awh, Visser's so ... nice! Just was like "what the hell man?" Very Happy

by Wi11 Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:15 pm

Fiji drop the ball every time they are tackled

Ha ha, you speak a lot of sense, mate!

by KickAndChase Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:16 pm

There's literally some ESPN guy in Fiji holding two cables together but periodically falling asleep hence the transmission breaks

by RuggerRadge2611 Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:16 pm

Well if you are you are getting ripped off by ESPN if this constitutes coverage!

by Guest Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:16 pm

Does the word 'Fiji' *always* have to be preceded by the word 'flying'? Is it in a contract somewhere?

by Gibson Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:17 pm

Try Fiji!

by **RDW** Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:17 pm

Poor ruck defence from Visser there.

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:17 pm

Votu makes another good break - could develop into a decent signing, given ths is first season in XVs out of VIIs

Nice try, Fiji

by KickAndChase Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:17 pm

FOR THE LAST TIME THEIR COUNTRY NAME IS FIJI. JUST FIJI.

On another note ... come on Scotland, margins margins ...

Try Fiji.
We have got to keep our concentration.

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:18 pm

Visser caught asleep on guard warning

by KickAndChase Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:18 pm

Yeah that try was Visser's fault .

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:19 pm

We'll have none of your Embra defence round here, boyo!

by Guest Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:20 pm

Yup, Visser standing too tall too close to the line, didn't cover his man very well at all.

by **RDW** Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:20 pm

Need some fresh legs in the forwards sharipsh

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:21 pm

That looked like good jackling

by KickAndChase Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:21 pm

Instead of the club form being brought to the country , maybe next season we'll see better defence on the whole from Embra Smile

by Gibson Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:21 pm

AsLongAsBut100ofUs wrote:Visser caught asleep on guard

High learning-curve. That will come.

The Fijians are soo nice to watch in full-flow though.

by KickAndChase Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:23 pm

Come on Scotland you need to take this one by at least 20 points

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:23 pm

Ruck inspector Kellock looks knackered!

by Gibson Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:24 pm

Yerman let go of the cables again.

by **George Carlin** Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:24 pm

"Chopped like a loag in the foarest".

This man is a genius.

Cus on for Blair.

by KickAndChase Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:24 pm

Wait who's Chris Coositer?

Mon Scotland!

Believe.

by **RDW** Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:25 pm

What they hell was that Hogg??

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:25 pm

Scott gives other players room - really good to see in a Scottish 12 at last

by KickAndChase Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:26 pm

THAT was dangerous.

Poor "kellock"
