Can these countries not afford a band or something? Even a CD over the tannoy!

Horne turned over in contact - not a great start for him

Don't suppose anyone has a net feed for this?

Argentina's back foot defence has been offside every ruck

Yes!!!

Ditto, MrsPip is hogging the telly. Apparently I have watched every live World Cup game this week. I know I bodyswerved Greece -Japan.

Nicely taken try, more of the same please boys!

PM's you tattie

Good start - lucky we didn't go to the tmo!

RDW, what has Tattie got that I'm Lacking? Other than personality, looks, money....

I sent you one

So needy pip!

Gonna be a high scoring game I think!

I think we've got to tighten this game up - they're tearing us to bits in the loose

Too many mistakes

RDW, would appreciate a PM with the link too please !

So apparently swearing is worse than kicking someone...

Blair Cowan just went up a notch or two in my estimation

Not quite sure what we're trying to do with the ball just now.

Is Maitland really taking crash balls for us??

This is the kind of thing that makes me think Weir is never going to be our first choice 10.

Dunky out on the full   

Another cheap shot

This is when you want Jim Hamilton in the team - sort the cheap shots out!

Not the best half

Weir not covering himself in glory. He took that penalty attempt way too quickly.

Would like to see Heathcote on soon.

Gilchrist doing well so far!

Sorry to be a pain but can someone post a link? Stockbridge wants to watch wendyball instead...

How did we mess that up??

Such a major failing of Scotland that whenever we get into their 22 we give away the bloody ball

Going through the middle via Gray is going to be the way that we win this.

Also agree with Scott Hastings that this game may well be tailor made for Fusaro.

We're getting absolutely shafted at the breakdown whenever we get in their half

I really want to see Heathcote on now

Heathcoat and Fusaro

It seems to that the ref is letting Argentina get away with not releasing after the tackle.

Years and years of practice...

Seem yellows given for less

I think Argentina are pretty lucky not to give away a yellow there. A lot of refs would give that as a yellow, definitely.

Already snappier service with Pyrgos.

We really do work incredibly hard for every single point

Could do with Welsh getting some gametime

That was shocking one on one defence - worse than England last night in the wendyball!

Oh what a try!!

Let me tell you, the depth Argentina are developing in their back three is outstanding. They made Ireland look stupid at times too. Very surprised Montero and Tuculet haven't been snapped up tbh.

RDW_Scotland wrote:We really do work incredibly hard for every single point

Agreed. We do, however, seamlessly provide points to the opposition.
Cowan. Off. Now.

20 minutes to go. How long is Cotter going to wait to use his substitutes?

We have to get Fozzy on now - he's got the speed that we need.

We definitely need to change something

Points surely??

Got to be a yellow soon - so many pens

Dougie Fife on

FFS Scotland...
