autumn international rugby

Squeaky bum time here for Scotland, can they hold it together. Big improvement on last week for sure!

Forum bug bump.

Big miss on the conversion!

Huge miss, hate the boos though!

Yeah, not impressed either. No place for it in egg chasing. Silence is both respectful and intimidating in equal measure.

Fantastic work rate, wasn’t pretty but so important to get a win.

Still too many mistakes but very happy with that.

Woo. Well played Scotland. SA don’t travel well do they. They’ve been poor so far. There for the taking at Twickenham I should think.

And now for Ireland’s mullering 🙁

Physical game against the Samoans, deserved final try from them, England not as clinical as last week

Hope Ireland can do better than we did last week. Much as I like to see running rugby I like it to be from both sides, not just a training exercise like we gave them.

Good Luck, you may well need it 🙂

😯 😀

well played scotland, but as a neutral I’d rather stick pins in my eyes than watch another game like that!!

Do I really want to watch the upcoming game? Ireland will just try and get all physical and emotional. The ABs will be clinical. 😐

Ah AA rugby in the pouring freezing rain of Edinburgh is never going to be a pretty sight! Until the ball gets heated and they invent something that stops your hands turning to blocks of ice with the sensory capabilities of a new born babe a running/passing game is unlikely.

A win is a win AA. I’d rather watch that that last weeks encounter

TJ no doubt you would, I’d rather watch wales win any sort of game anyhow too, but that was still dire for a neutral.

God we where crap against Scotland..

Scotland too where dire, it’s just we where even more dire than them..

Hey ho.. 🙁

TJ is a neutral 😉

In Scotland the only time you get to play on hard fast pitches is when they are frozen.

Conditions might have favoured us and a few ref decisions too (one penalty for sure) but a win over the (somewhat under par world champions) is still a good thing after last weeks disaster.

We aren’t world beaters but we are happy today!

So, do Scotland stand above Wales in the International rankings now?

😛

Surely if you beat the World Champions then you are the World Champions???

According to Gaby wasshername the World Champions are playing Ireland tonight…

Which is odd, as I thought we’d just lost to Scotland… 🙁

the world NUMBER 1’s are playing ireland

I did wonder what Mrs Logan was waffling about?????

5 minutes and we haven’t conceded. A small victory. 😀

****. Only managed eight minutes.

Not sure how you think thats an excuse toys?

I was only ribbing you, but it’s a fairly typical response – IE we would have won if we were playing xy and z instead of players A, B and C. The truth is on the day that’s the best your team could offer, and they lost drew.

I’ll take 6-9 with 30 minutes played.

And I’ll certainly take 13-9 😀

Yah 13 -12 now damn

edit 13-19 double damn

**** me, but the Twickenham crowd really cannot sing! Jerusalem pipes up and barely a voice can be heard. A few strained strains of that one verse song about a chariot was all there was!

Entertaining day of rugby though! Didn’t see any other games, but wooo for the Scotchish!

Well done Scotland, great game between A.B’s and Ireland. Bring on the welsh.

If Ireland had been been playing anyone else they would have won, aside from the AB’s they looked devastating. Unfortunatly the AB’s looked way more devastating..

Saw snippets of Ireland game, looked like they gave them a better game than Scotland but still didn’t look anywhere like beating them. How many more gears did the AB have if needed?

Still shows their line can be penetrated by the right plan. Just need to stop them crossing yours or Dan kicking any penalties, should be easy 😕

If Ireland had been been playing anyone else they would have won

No, it doesn’t work that way. As BOD said they were out of the game and you don’t come back against the ABs from that far down.

The Aviva Stadium is s***. What a joke – what’s that stand behind the end zone with about 6 rows all about? I know why it had to be built that way but still….

England showed that their game last week doesn’t mean they’re that great and Scotland showed that they aren’t as bad as they seemed last week.

Yep – http://www.irb.com/rankings/index.html

please god let it be not too bad 😯

please god let it be not too bad

35-12, we’ll all be pleased it wasn’t a hiding but we will still have lost 🙁

when will it ever end?…..

when will it ever end?…..

Climate change will raise the sea level in the Pacific forcing all islanders to move to NZ. They won’t have the space for rugby pitches and so become ranked around 10th in the world, still about 10 places above Wales*. But they will be good at Subbuteo.

At the same time the US will realise that American Football and baseball are crap sports and put billions into rugby……….

*who will still claim rugby as their national sport, despite getting regular hidings off Libya.

Scots need to man up! Samoans out there in shorts, Scots in their tin foil blankets!

Looks effing cold, though!
