Wilson is so stupid there but when will ref's also punish the a-holes that hold on...

Not the first time Samoa have done that in the match.

Yellow.  

But how come none of these ref seem to be able to see what's happening on the screen replays for themselves?

Anytime the Scots have been near the Samoan tryline, they've come back with points. That probably explains "where Samoa has been"

Is Matt Scott12 still concussed? He genuinely seems not to know where he is in the defensive line.
I'm not joking I am concerned for him.

I've had to start a new account as the facebook button doesn't seem to be there for me today nonetheless Wilson is bloody awful and a nutcase, is he unaware of the existence of cameras in general.

Also I suspect I will get lynched for saying this and I don't like saying it but we're looking for a captain who is near the pack, likely to start most games and is actually quite good. Well in the run up to the try I saw John Hardie's ugly mug barking orders and I think I've seen our captain.

You are deluded if you really think that wasn't a card.

What annoys me is that the Samoan goes unpunished for deliberate foul play. If a yellow card is to be shown to the Scottish player then one has to be shown to the Samoan. Conversely, if the Samoan is going to do that then he also expects some retaliation so no penalty or cards...

I don't think so as an international rugby player as soon as that happens you have to scream and shout to the ref to get the penalty, not stamp.

Perez is a great signing for Toulose. Samoan fans have been asking for him to start ahead of Tuilagi all tournament. Brilliant player.

If we can get the restarts and play some controlled rugby in their territory we can edge it. If we continue like this then we'll lose.

Good game so far not sure how Scotland are still in the game, Samoa giving away too many needless penalties. Second half could favour Scotland as Samoa tend to run out of steam.

We need Vern to work his magic again, bring Strauss on for Wilson, and dare I say it even Shlong on for Scott, Horne's too lightweight to go into the midfield against these guys.

Re Wilson yellow, it should be the same punishment for both. If the decision that was made continues it only encourages teams to hold on more.

Not to sure Samoa will be the ones to run out of steam. They all play of have played with top clubs around the world and love this type of game. It's the maul that could be the beating of them though.

Tbh I think Horne would be a better option. We need brains more than brawn to deal with the Samoan backs.

Because holding onto a player for a second isn't a yellow card offensive, it is a penalty. So the stamp is effectively a reversed penalty and yellow card. Every player knows that is what will happen if they stamp on an opposition player.

Because simply put his rule breach did not warrant a yellow card, Wilson's stamp did. You can't upgrade the Samoan's actions to the retaliation.

If we can somehow grab a few early points, a try or a penalty and then just take the sting out.

I understand the Samoan's holding didn't warrant a penalty or yellow card and the stamp did by the letter of the law but what that incident effectively achieved was Samoa getting an advantage from deliberate foul play. No punishment in that instance simply encourages the Samoans to continue it.

What you need (and people won't like this) is the TMO getting involved and calling for the penalty. Every single time (or at least advantage and a warning). Then you can yellow for repeated infringement if it carries on. But you need to apply that to hands in the ruck, not releasing and all the multitude of things players from all teams do to cheat to an advantage.

I have no intention of defending Wilson.

He had no idea where he was standing. If he'd stood on his face, that would have been red and that would probably have been the game.

Expect him to get hooked for Strauss pretty soon. I expect our fitness to hold and for us to calm the hell down. Hoping for a strong second half.

No punishment in that instance simply encourages the Samoans to continue it.
eh, no because if Wilson hadn't stamped then it would have been a penalty to Scotland (if the ref had seen it of course). Why is this so confising to people? It's a very simple situation which was delt perfectly by the ref/TMO.
