Australia by 6-10

Scotland with the recent history is a massive advantage but they are missing Russell, Hogg and the Grays and there’s obviously the danger of complacency with the more serious and tougher games coming up.
For that reason I can’t see them winning by anything by more than 30.

isn't it 5 weeks since any australian player had a game of rugby?
that's a fair spell

Not strictly true - a handful were involved in the Australian A tour of Japan.
Hanigan, Frost, Jock Campbell, Gibbon, Neville.

Isn't that were they all get injuries?

The Wallabies bench should make the difference.

Great match so far
Pearce and team have missed a couple of banana lineouts from the Scots
But both sides looking to throw the ball around
Australia wasted three early chances/ great jackling from the Scots
Then great try from slick backline work
Pen back to Oz
Scotland 5-3 Australia
18mins gone -
Pearce is finally officiating the Scots offside at the ruck
-
Scotland butcher a try in the corner
Quick tap
Held up after 10 phases
Scotland passed up two kicks at goal
Could regret that
Scotland 5-3 Australia
29 mins gone -
Is it a bird?
Is it a plane?
It’s Schoeman -
Can't make up my mind if McDermott is having a 'mare or his forwards are shit.
-
Huge pressure from Australia but wasteful of possession
6 forays into Scotland 22, just 3 points scored
-
Smarter Australian play will see them win this comfortably
-
Scotland pinged for lying offside
Scotland 5-6 Australia
Halftime -
Good first half
Solid test match
-
Fucking hell Australia
KISS
Kinghorn with the kick through and try
Scotland 12-6 Australia

Kicked dead

Exocet missile, off his feet, not looking, shoulder /bicep to head

The game is a farce eh Mike. We were only talking about this in the Japan thread. Farcical.

No probs with the decision, but why can't we have consistency?

World cups will be decided by this arbitrary carry on. Retallick might be on a flight home after todays red. Glen Young will be back on the pitch in 8 minutes.

He hit McDermott way harder then Retallick hit Himeno. The body part he hit him with shouldn't matter. Sean O Brien sparked Naholo out with his arm in the Lions tour.

Beautiful
Simple rugby will win this

Your coms are spot on , the Scottish replacement lock gets to lineup up against the All Blacks next weekend but Retallick is on a flight home for arguably an offence that was lesser than what we saw this morning ..
Also the quicker they do away with the deliberate knock down the better ..it’s not foul play , it’s a knock on -
Scotland did everything they should have in the final build up. They put pressure on the Wallaby forwards to not make a mistake and sure enough Fainga’a made it. Penalty awarded. Excellent play Scotland.
But then the tightness in throat started when the approach to the penalty kick looked different. Then the execution of the kick, it didn’t look like a clean strike. Sure it’s a pressure kick to win a test match, but to me that was a choke.
-
I thought Pearce was extremely good in a niggly match full of inaccuracies. Would like him to ref NZ games as he communicates so well.
Thought Kinghorn was candidate for mom but killed it by lining kick up straight when he had been hooking left all day. Thought Scotland made a lot of poor decisions to give away a match they should have won. Ritchie is a poor captain.
McDermott was horrid at times and others like Paisami Foley and Banks quite ordinary. So well done Hooper White Valetini and the locks for pulling Australia through. -

His attempt at the conversion in the first quarter was also away to the left.
