Dysart Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Embarrassing stuff, would have been better if it had been postponed then Scotland could have claimed a moral victory 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S7C Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 That offload was clearly forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've played the game at pace - we are incredibly one-paced. When we do get the ball, instead of going through the phases, we been slow in getting it out of the maul, then, when we do, we have no option but to kick. We need a miracle second half. It relatively cool temperature wise, so we don't even have heat/humidity as an excuse! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Still convinced that's forward - but it happened so fast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Is it too late to get the game cancelled?Could you head to the stadium and set off the natural disaster alarm? Or summon Godzilla? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mon_The_Fife Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Should have taken the 0-0.I’m done with this shite, now will have to deal with all the smug Kiwi’s tomorrow at work. Wait until I tell them that San Marino have beaten us at ‘soccer’ too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Just looked at the bench, and we have no one to bring on to change the game, except Horne jr for Laidlaw. Time for Townsend to go i think 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S7C Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Need to roll the dice now. Horne on. Quick ball. Out kicking as it is will just get us into more trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 The incessant kicking has been a problem throughout Townsend’s tenure, but Hogg’s decision there was the stupidest thing I’ve seen. You’ve got 90 seconds of the half left and they’ve battered us, get it as far down the pitch as possible. Don’t kick it to halfway for a chase we’re obviously not making and let them run it right back from there. It was always unlikely to happen from 14-7, but go in at half-time 7 down and winning by 8 isn’t a wildly unrealistic scenario. Doing it from 14 down is a ridiculous prospect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnydun Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Just copy and paste the Russia v Scotland football thread, change the names and you have the same sorry mess. Shite defence and terrible kicking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Can't see Japan not getting another try - not unless we drastically change the tempo of the game. We've allowed them to play the game at pace instead of trying to slow it down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Just looked at the bench, and we have no one to bring on to change the game, except Horne jr for Laidlaw. Time for Townsend to go i think You’d imagine he’d go. This is two games out of four that they just haven’t shown up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 There’s good news. These posh Finns, Findlays and Frasers are shite at egg chasing, but not as shite as the other mob about to tackle the might of San Marino. We should take somebody to court over this. I’d start with that Japanese No14 for blatantly ripping the pish out of our posh boys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Turning point for me was just after our try and Russell kicking the ball away instead of playing tight rugby.That allowed Japan to go up the park and get momentum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Mahelp Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 We were superb for the first 15 minutes, then for some reason we just stopped competing at the breakdown therefore allowing them super quick ball. I can't remember the last time we were in their half, or had close to any kind of possession. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
