First time at Murrayfield thanks to friends with season tickets. After 6 mins I thought we'd be leaving early for the pub. After 60 minutes I thought we were the lucky charms and would be sorted for future tickets. By the end normal service was resumed.

Fair dues though, he damn near made it look like it was an attempted tackle

Aussies are good cheats 🤪

New Zealand really do look as beatable as I’ve seen them this year.

Excellent, the daily express will headline England as World Beaters once again next week.

Jack Dempsey wasn't it (I could be wrong) 15caps for Australia as I recall.

Nope, he was world heavyweight champion from 1919-26.

a_a the long range try started with NZ 8 hands, definitely right hand, on the floor. Almost every time the jackaled it was hands on the floor first. I can believe that close to the line we failed to control the ball but the defending team is required to release when it goes to ground and unless our ball carriers were octopuses then that was not happening.

You can view it as three great steals tho. If the Mish or Ritchie had done that?

Thats what made the difference - we got the ball to their line 3 times and didn't get in. We left too many points on the field

Decent team performance Our backs looked dangerous. i thought Finn played well.

Yes tj, and we were beaten. But in all these games what is obvious is the breakdown is a mess. Arguably it cost Scotland the game, it cost France Danty.
Watching France Australia everytime France went to jackal aus flopped onto the shoulders effectively collapsing it. Which should be a pen to France but went against them. Both teams on Sunday got away with shenanigans and we probably would still have lost but hands on, not releasing and not supporting your own weight should be pinged.

Good luck to Georgia, I hope they have a good game.

I’m tempted to watch the Italy game. Good luck to them.

However, c’mon Wales 😀

Why is the Wales pitch always so slippery? I’d have thought with having a roof, they’d be at an advantage in getting a decent surface.

Saffers have such a victim mentality at the moment. If Italy manage to pull this off I can't wait to see Springboks twitter going into meltdown.

If wales lose, I can’t imagine what pressure Pivac will come under. Dreadful game!

****ing hell!!!! It wouldn’t have been so bad, if it wasn’t such a boring, boring game.

Pivac is just not up to it. Wales have gone nowhere, but backwards, since he took over.

If I were him I’d resign, never to be heard from again!

Playing 4 wingers and 3 openside flankers in the same team says it all.

Can't see Wales beating anyone, played like they were on Valium today, think Pivac has lost the players.

Red card to spoil the game. Pfftpt!

I am coming round to the idea that a red card should be 20 mins down a man and then a sub can come on but not the carded player

Its so easy to get a red card nowadays. that was stupid and reckless but not malicious or intentional IMO

That was an easy red card, some are questionable but not that one. He stares through Ritchie after hes smashed him.

Scotland getting over excited?

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?

Ha ha ha. I’ve only just turned on and Scotland are playing against 12, and Argentina score a try. I thought Wales were in a league of their own, but Scotland like to do their bit 😉.

Sorry, for all I know Scotland may be having a great game - but that was comical 😀

I also think like in ice hockey the yellow card should be over after a certain number of points have been scored. maybe 8?

This. Despite everything, it still permeates all levels of the game. Common in the junior ranks when my eldest played. It was a 'hit as hard as you can I'm bigger and tougher than you' mentality. Not from the coaches I'll add, from the playing group.

There’s been more excitement in 5mins than the whole of the Wales game - unless you’re Georgian I guess 😉

This game could end 7 v 5 😂

Who’d have thought Finn Russell would be the one with a calm head 🤷‍♂️

Duckman - Ive been a Scotland fan for long enough to know we can lose from any position.
