Can Scotland do the unthinkable and make it 3 from 3 down under? Here's when to watch:
Saturday 23rd June, 2012 15:30 WST, 03:30 BST

Chris Cusiter has been 'rewarded' by Andy Robinson with his first start on tour at the expense of Mike Blair, who is likely to now start on the bench.

Decent scrum there. And this commentary is so much better than last week. (Although Big Richie disguising himself as Kellock was pretty impressive)

Concerningly close.
Pretty sure if I wasn't so tired I'd be rather worried just now...

Re: Samoa v Scotland: Teams, Build Up & Live Match Thread
Agree there Rennie had a cracking first half. Impressed with Scott and Visser going forward, but having a heart attack every time they try to defend, get a grip boys
I would bring Weir on around 60 mins I would say this is his type of game

Been disappointed with Hogg - made a few mistakes and those 3 points came from his mistake

high risk 22 dropout from Scotland there - no need in my opinion and now they have a fantastic attacking opportunity

How the **** did our pack lose a scrum against Samoa???
Re: Samoa v Scotland: Teams, Build Up & Live Match Thread
So bloody frustrating - we have the nudge on in the scrum but don't protect the ball and they nick it and leads to a bloody Samoan try.
Stupid play Scotland - ever since that stupid 22 drop out
