Hopefully
I think Scotland played the better rugby in that series at the start of the year (despite losing 2-1). Some very good tries scored by the Scots in those matches
That was a Scottish team that was missing a few players too

I'm hoping the Latinos get up for this. The Sweeties are getting too cocky. I've gotta get down to BA to see and ABs test. Leave the wife and kids at home...if you know what I mean...

Is Johnson injured ? I would prefer him to Tuipolutu.

Also good to see Nico Sanchez back. And Facundo Isa. He's a beast.

Awful call. Yellow card. Hit him with almost lower arm.
-
Great watch
-
Not flash from Harris. Game over.
-
RCs are so random these days. Crowd loving it, but you feel the match is effectively over as a contest now.

No it wasn't. Player crouching as well as ducking his head at the breakdown, hit with the inside of the elbow. It's a shit call. Penalty only, possibly yellow card if you buy the play acting.
Harris might be wanting the first half over.
-
Nah
Harris yes -
@MiketheSnow Dont make me play the Georgian card.... lol
-
@MiketheSnow said in Scotland v Argentina:
Nah
Harris yesYeah. He didn't even consider what the player was hit with. He's going into a ruck, knowing he's going to be cleaned. He's ducked his head to stop himself being cleaned. As you know I'm on your side generally for foul play but this one is out of order..
-
Game on
Come on Argentina
-
12 Argies score against 15 Scots, hahaha
-
Ridiculous that Bofelli was also ignored for poty.
-
Is it also the case at this level that if you go below 12 players it's game over?
-
Fuck me, isn't it great to see some old-fashioned rugby?

Dickson will cringe at the video review.
-
Commentators have been very good value. What is it with the Scots? Polar opposite of other celts...
-
@Bones I used to like Eddie Butler's comms, always brought the game to life.
-
Fucking hell. That's a good tackle
-
What an utterly bonkers Test match.
-
Did I miss something or was it an error by the officials : Gallo and Ritchie were carded at the same time but while Ritchie was allowed to come back Gallo and his replacement (Isa) were left standing outside. Before Isa could come in, Scotland scored a try.
-
Geez I have hated the officiating this weekend. Poor decision to give red card in my view. We are going to see players milk that ad nauseum now. Hardly surprising to see the fight. Players must get so frustrated.
Commentary seemed to forget the imbalance in playing numbers at times -

I was watching highlights, one shot there was nothing next to the score the next there was red/yellow/numbers and I was trying to figure WTF was going on.
-
Surely - SURELY - after Luke Pearce's "bicep, not shoulder" yellow card against Scotland v Wallabies a few weeks back, Kremer escapes any form of punishment and should get an apology for that horrible decision?
Yes waiter, I had the sour grapes. Put them here next to my whine.
